|  | Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun
In this allegorical novel, Isak, the hero of the story, is the archetypical man who labors and builds. A wanderer at the start of the tale, he builds a hut to shelter himself from the winds of the moors and decides to settle on the spot. He begins to cultivate the land, and eventually he meets a woman who stays to become his wife and raise his children. In time his farm prospers, his household grows larger and larger, and a village springs up around him. The onset of civilization brings the turmoil of competition and greed, although Isak remains fixed in his simplicity. GROWTH OF THE SOIL is one of Hamsun's most famous and well-loved books.
