'Then comes the evening.' Those who have seen the film , starring Max Von Sydow, will recall seeing several scenes with Marie Hamsun finishing a novel with this line at book readings. Growth of the Soil, Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun鈥檚 1917 novel widely regarded as his masterpiece, is that novel. Powerful in its sublime simplicity, Growth is the life and times of Isak, following him as he cuts his legacy from the untamed wilds of Norway in a fight against Modernity.

Growth of the Soil鈥攚ritten 27 years after his other classic and debut novel, and one of my personal favorite books of all-time, 鈥攄isplays Hamsun at a much more matured writing style. While Hunger was gritty, raw and frantic, Growth delivers a very controlled and serene prose. The typical quirks of Hamsun are still present, and avid readers will find his unmistakable voice booming from the pages. It is quite impressive how so little yet so much seems to transpire in this relatively short novel (324pgs in the Penguin Classics edition) and the vast length of time that goes by. The novel begins with a youthful Isak setting out on his own and by the end he is reflecting upon old age as he begins to embrace the deterioration of his strength and body and leave the future in the hands of his full grown children. He masterfully manipulates time, as it passes in spurts sometimes burning quickly through chunks of years or slowly moving through a season, yet the pace and flow never falters as Hamsun seems to evenly disperse his timeline.

Characters have always been a strong point for Hamsun. Here readers will find a colorful cast of some of the most human characters since Tolstoy. Hamsun has a charm of seemingly bringing you into the ever growing Sellenara home of Isak and Inger and allowing you to cozy up by the fire with the family. You watch their struggles, successes, sadness and share in the local gossip over the course of generations, giving the novel a feel that will put fans of or right at home. You feel as if characters鈥攕uch as the comical busybody Oline
鈥攁re real neighborhood weirdos that you encounter and not just some name on a page, so when reading about their actions it causes you to laugh and say 鈥渙h she would say or do that!鈥�. Geissler, the enigmatic manic-depressive who turns up from time to time, is the books most memorable character. His monologue near the end will echo within you for months to come and contains a message that is still timely today.

The real heart of this novel, however, is the land itself. The focus primarily remains out in the wilderness and usually stays behind amongst the fields and mountains even when characters travel into town. Hamsun seems to poke fun at more 鈥榗ivilized鈥� trifles as he juxtaposes city and country characters often through the lens of the backlands where a need for an impressive set of clothes and status icons such as a cane seem foolish and juvenile. He shows the land as being the true home and heart of a family, as the characters rely upon the land and live off the fruits of their blood and sweat. There is magical little moments where the natural world and the human world comingle spiritually; where Inger witnesses tiny fish singing to her or when the ducks seem to speak to the son with their voice passing through his soul. The poet wrote 鈥�Even a simple 鈥渉i there,鈥�/when traded with a fish,/makes both the fish and you/feel quite extraordinary鈥� and these spiritual exchanges between man and the land greeting each other brings out a deep inner beauty of the novel.

I would recommend anyone with an interest in the author to view the film , as Sydow delivers a stellar performance as usual, and it depicts an accurate enough portrayal of the Hamsun鈥檚 later years 鈥� particularly those involving his support for the Nazi's as opposed to the English. This gross alignment cost the author his wealth and social status, and well, rightfully so. Hamsun openly decried Hitler's anti-Semitism, but preferred a German occupation to working with the English which is still not great but that鈥檚 what is was. As a side note, however, he was reported to be one of the few people to ever talk down to Hitler, causing Hitler to dismiss him and bury himself away in rage for several days when Hamsun insisted upon releasing Norwegian prisoners of war who were sentenced to death by firing squad. On the other hand, Hamsun was a massive literary inspiration to many of his contemporaries, being highly praised by authors such as , and even (that crew), and his novels do not reflect this ghastly political alignment though having read his biography it's not hard to see how someone so headstrong, confident and confrontational would end up aligning himself in terrible ways late in life. This novel was however issued in field editions to German soldiers during WWII, and as the novel exudes a deep love for ones homeland you can see how easily it could be hijacked for to stir feelings of nationalism. So take that as you will.. In short, this is a well-written book with an ugly history surrounding it, and I would completely understand any aversion to it or the author, as everyone has their own comfort level of separating artists from art and it鈥檚 all rather complex I think, ultimately, looking at all the facets of this helps get a better picture of the political climate of the times and the nuances in opinions.

Knut Hamsun has a power to take such a mundane chain of events and portray it in verbal majesty to rival the overgrown backlands of Norway. It is no surprise the Nobel committee honored him with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920 shortly after this novel achieved great success (the fucker gave his Nobel medallion away to Goebbels though...). If you want to take a trip to your roots and revert back to nature, which Hamsun would argue is the way it should be, this is a perfect novel for you (suddenly getting a clearer understanding on the ). It rewards a patient reader, as it slowly reveals its heart if you sit back, relax and let it unfold around you like a morning sunrise. This is could be a great introduction to Hamsun, although I would recommed Hunger over this as it is more accessible.
And then it was evening, and I need to go to sleep.

鈥淕rowth of the soil was something different, a thing to be procured at any cost; the only source, the origin of all. A dull and desolate existence? Nay, least of all. A man had everything; his powers above, his dreams, his loves, his wealth of superstition.鈥�

Having spent most of a weekend driving through the woods in V盲rmland, close to the Norwegian border, reflecting on the strange way in which time seems to have stopped there in the remote countryside, I remembered my phase of passionate Lagerl枚f and Hamsun reading.

Those two understood the attraction and oppression of life lived on the harsh limits, dictated by nature's omnipresent volatility, and by a small community's shared values and superstitions, as well as power structures and intolerance, based on fear of things unknown.

The landscape in which hardworking farmers settled is breathtakingly beautiful in summer: dark green woods, light green fields, flowers of all colours and shapes around the glittery blue waters of the lakes, farms spread out between small churches.

But once you stop and talk to people (or spend time with relatives, as the case can be), the short time span of the beautiful summer sneaks into conversations within minutes. Even nowadays, dialogues circle around when the first flowers appeared this spring, when the last snow storm hit (in Stockholm, it was 11th May, and many apple trees - mine included - lost their budding flowers), how much rain is needed to make vegetables grow, but not rot over the short summer. Light hardly fades at night, but it is chilly, even in July, and people know instinctively that they have to catch each sun ray in order to steel themselves for winter.

You can still find traces of Knut Hamsun's epic tale of the quiet, monosyllabic farmer life in Norway in the rural dialects, superstitions and conservative mindset. A foreigner would be recognised immediately, in these remote woods.

There is something silently heroic in the constant fight against nature to make the soil fertile to feed hungry children, and Hamsun's love of his own cultural background shines through the prose on every page. However, his later identification with fascist Germany may also find an explanation in the worship of the Nordic, the fear of foreign influences, the focus on protecting national identity rather than accepting a range of new perspectives. The political stain of Hamsun's later years does not take away from his narrative power, but it should be mentioned as part of who he was, and what he developed into. Seeing both the brilliant writer and the Nazi supporter will give a nuanced picture of the different facets of life in Scandinavia at that time.

It is neither idealistic nor monstrous, just shaped by the conditions under which people lived, worked and mingled with each other. Understanding the dynamics of remote farmer communities is still relevant, and Hamsun's sharp perceptions and colorful descriptions open up a a strangely closed world and make it accessible to a wider, international audience.

For someone who praised Hitler and his cronies - very much like C茅line, whose Journey to the End of the Night was influenced by Hamsun's Hunger, I wouldn't have believed he could write a a beautiful sweeping backcountry epic that fully deserved the Nobel Prize in Literature. It's true, this novel very much felt like it carried a biblical power within its pages, as Hamsun sets out to tell of man's elemental bond with the earth. His vision of peasant life in Norway鈥檚 rural landscape was every bit as good as I expected it to be, but I didn't think it would have ended up eclipsing 'Pan', a novel I hugely admire. He switches from the first-person narrative of earlier novels to a stately, almost distant third person perspective which I found extraordinarily effective. Even though it's told with great simplicity, Hamsun鈥檚 eye for detail never faltered, and within only a matter of pages I had the feeling of something grand indeed. With incredibly rich characters that are always deep in thought or flustered with feelings, the truthful perspective of existence and experience resulted in a tour de force level of thoughtful and textured storytelling. Isak and Inger were characters I didn't want to leave; I miss them already. Growth of the Soil must be one the best novels about ancestors, there prosperous dreams, and the deepest yearning for a warm and loving Homecoming. For anyone interested in the day to day lives of early settlers then this novel is a must read. I would've scored this a 5/5 had he not wrote Hunger: which I do prefer.

description

Dobro 膷esto pro膽e bez traga, zlo uvijek povla膷i posljedice.

Ne pamtim kada sam 膷itao neku knjigu u kojoj se sve odvija sa jednom stalo啪eno拧膰u, mirno膰om, bez potrebe da se nametne neki ideolo拧ki, religiozni ili politi膷ki pravac. Knut Hamsun svoje junake postavlja na selo i njihovim zajedni膷kim trudom i radom stvara op拧te啪i膰e. Hamsun pru啪a jedan otpor prema prekomijernom individualisti膷kom na膷inu 啪ivljenja, koji polako nestaje kako se zajednica pribli啪ava i raste. To zadovoljstvo koje oni osje膰aju u neprestanoj sjetvi i 啪etvi, marljivim postignu膰ima na njihovoj farm i smjenjivanju godi拧njih doba i prolazu godina je nekako intertno i tiho. Oni su pomireni Adamovim izgnanstvom iz raja, kada mu Bog re膷e: ,,U znoju svog lica je拧膰e拧 hljeb svoj dok se ne vrati拧 u zemlju, od koje si i uzet...鈥�(1. 3,19). Ali Hamsun ovo nevidi kao neko veliko proklestvo. Naprotiv, on iz ovoga izvla膷i ono najbolje. Naporan i op拧tekoristan rad, doma膰instvo, porodica i ljubav su polodovi zemlje. On vra膰a svoje junake iskonskim na膷elima 啪ivota, o啪ivljava ih i daje im poetske sokove. I zaista, kada 膷ovjek bude na trenutak pohlepan i 啪eli da 拧to vi拧e kupuje ili prodaje, kada se osje膰a gnjevno zbog ne膷ega ili se osje膰a lo拧e, treba da uzme ovu knjigu da bi se podsjetio 拧ta zna膷i istinska jednostavnost i u 膷emu le啪i ono su拧tinsko.

Naime, u knjizi tako膽e postoji jo拧 jedan trenutak koji mnogo ostavlja prosotra za promi拧ljanje. Pa se bar nadam da bi ovo pomoglo 膷itaocu da se malo zardr啪i na tom slu膷aju kada bude 膷itao knjigu. Ukratko, on se ogleda u tome 拧to se junak po imenu Aksel na膽e zarobljen pod borom koji se obru拧io na njega te doziva pomo膰. Kada ga poznanik Bred ugleda on jednostavno pro膽e pored njega kao da se ni拧ta ne de拧ava. Ali jedna starica 膷uje krike i dolazi Akselu u pomo膰. Kada mu je ona ve膰 pomogla, Bred u tom trenutku pritr膷ava i od tada kre膰e nadmetanje ko mu je pomogao. Bred se izvla膷io da je ovaj samo tu le啪ao i da nije konkretno njega zvao u pomo膰. Iako je starica Olina zaslu啪na za spa拧avanje 啪ivota, Hamsun pi拧e: ,,Sa obje strane je bila priprosta lukavost.鈥� On na vol拧eban na膷in dovodi u pitanje ko je zaista u膷inio dobro djelo. Da li Bred koji se nije osvrtao na pomo膰 ili Olina koja je pomogla ali 膷ija bi pomo膰 ,,zauvijek postala i skupa i tegobna,鈥� ako ostane na tome da mu je ona jedina spasila 啪ivot. Vrlo opskurana tema za razmatranje. I da dodam da ako neko bude mislio da je ovo knjiga o 膷edomorstvu i da je uzima samo zbog toga, blago 膰e se razo膷arati.

Despite the fact that this book won Hamsun a Nobel Prize in Literature, it is often Hamsun's most misunderstood novel. Not much seems to happen in the 400+ pages of Isak (a mysterious, near god-like figure) building his farm. Even when things do happen, Hamsun's writing is surprisingly calm despite the possibility of disaster. What I believe it comes down to is this: This books is not so much about Isak changing as it is about the "modern world" encroaching on Isak's life. From the strange section in which Isak has to be led through the process of obtaining legal ownership of the land he has tilled for decades, to the son who appears less and less at the family estate, to finally Isak seeing an apparition of the Devil in the forest he has traversed for years, this book is ultimately not a story of a man who changes, but of changes circling a man of a dying breed.

Get this edition. On the front cover is a young man walking on plowed ground. Above is the book's modest title, "Growth of the Soil," and in smaller case "Knut Hamsun's Greatest Novel." Open it and you'll see the book's title again, the author's name and the information that it was translated from the Norwegian by W.W. Worster. From there, at once, as if it is a crime to make pleasure wait, you go straight to its first chapter. No introduction. Absolutely nothing about who the author is, or his other books, not even about his having won the Nobel Prize for Literature. No mention of whatever awards the novel or the author got. No blurbs. Ah, except the one at the back cover. One solitary praise, from another writer, H. G. Wells. He said:

"I do not know how to express the admiration I feel for this wonderful book without seeming to be extravagant. I am not usually lavish with my praise, but indeed the book impresses me as among the very greatest novels I have ever read. It is wholly beautiful; it is saturated with wisdom and humor and tenderness."

How many times have you heard this, when a fellow tasked to introduce a speaker before a crowd, he'll go: "Our next speaker needs no introduction..." I felt the same with this novel. It needed nothing before it. No preliminaries, no teasers, or encomium. It pulls you captive right at its powerful first paragraph, then pins you down helpless, your eyes riveted towards one beautiful page after another, 435 in all, an unending chorus of debilitating prose that would make you weak on your knees.

Eyah, Herregud! How can it ever be possible that someone could write amazingly like this, using the most humble materials for a story: Isak, the hairy, physically ugly, illiterate peasant; his wife Inger, the hare-lipped Amazon with nice legs; the family they raised in the Norwegian wilderness; their mundane farm life?

And yet only a 4.22 GR average rating out of 1,286 ratings and 146 reviews (excluding mine). Ho, ptro, huttch, hoy huit! A few lost souls gave it 2 stars, some 3. Mine was the strongest 5 I had given a book. But maybe it was just me? Was it because, long ago when I was much younger, I too lived by myself in a wild country (for a year), with my pig, chickens and dogs as daily companions? Was it perhaps because I also knew how a long hike feels with your shoulders groaning with a heavy load, or see people only occasionally and commune with these simplest of minds eagerly during these rare moments, get down sick and trust only in the rustic air and cool spring water for cure, and see the world as it was created and before man recreated it?

H'm, I don't know. I am "all but nothing in all humanity" and literature is a mystery to me.

It started off greatly. Great setting, close to nature and a farmer as protagonist. Isaac is a tiller of soil and loves his job passionately. And continues doing it, refusing better opportunities and while a whole town develops around him, he still continues to look down upon anything industrial. There are a couple of powerful scenes scattered around as well - such as one where he can't dig out a rock because of his ageing body and is embarrassed or where he must seek the legal ownership of land he thought he had owned for such a long time.

Books about lives close to nature are something I like but you need to have a plot in there somewhere. It is not that nothing happens in the novel, in fact a lot, too much happens in the novel - Humsun seems to have fit a Marathon ground in space of a 1000 meter track, but none of the action derives the message home, whatever the message is. There are, for example, two incidences of infanticides done by new mothers and I don't know what the point was - that new mothers should not be left alone with babies ? I mean who else would care for those little, ugly, smelling, foolish things?

It is same with rest of the novel, a lot of action that didn't prompt much of thinking in me. Moreover Isac was too self-sure and his confidence always found success. Bad seasons didn't distress him, as they would, IMO, any farmer, especially in days when artificial methods of harvesting weren't available - and there were so few of thoess bad seasons. The only source of problems, besides new mothers and women in general that is, was modernity and society. Those are like devilish inspirations which fill minds of people with all sorts of wicked wishes to live in them. I could like societies to move closer to nature - find a balance, more trees and more tolerance to animals and stuff, but returning to complete primitivism is totally another thing and that, unfortunately, was centeral theme of novel if you were to be believe Wiki. Isac was an Humsun's idea of an ideal man - and like all writers wanting to depict their idea of ideal man, Humsun seems to have forgotten that people are diverse. There is none of that beauty of his other novel 'Hungar' in here.

"Nature鈥檚 there, for you and yours to have and enjoy. Man and Nature don鈥檛 bombard each other, but agree; they don鈥檛 compete, race one against the other, but go together.

Growth of the Soil, which helped Knut Hamsun earn his Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920, was his homage to the man of nature. It tells the story of Isak, a simple man, who without "a sword in hands, go through life bareheaded, barehanded, in the midst of a great kindliness (nature)". He is the first settler in a wilderness who begins life only with a "sack, containing provisions for the road and some implements.". He toils with the soil and grows as the soil grows. There are his trials, but his successes are many. The growth of the soil caters to all his physical needs and the surrounding wilderness feeds his soul. He is in harmony with nature, and as such, in peace. With time, several others come and settle in the surrounding lands, and copper mining begins paving the way for industrialization. None of these affect Isak, however. This man of nature, through all the "development", stays true to nature, and in doing so, he never loses his peace and contentment.

If you look at the Growth of the Soil from a novel perspective, it's neither plot-driven nor character-driven as is customary. Rather, it is theme-driven. The protagonist Isak is Hamsun's voice. Through Isak's story, Hamsun is advocating on the agrarian lifestyle which he considered the best mode of living since it helped man to live harmoniously with nature. He loathed modernization and saw industrialization as a threat to nature and the peace of man. The failure of the copper mining in the story and the financial downfall of the ones who depended on it was Hamsun's way of proving his point. But one mustn't misunderstand Hamsun. He was not against the development of agricultural methods and tools. It was industrialization that he was suspicious of, and it was industrialization that he saw as the enemy. Hamsun regarded the growth of the soil to be the natural habitat of the humans, and any foreign intervention to upset its balance was viewed as disastrous.

The theme expounded in Growth of the Soil has a present bearing. We, as humans, have utterly run against nature and are facing its dire consequences. Industrialization and modernization are needed for us to move forward. To that extent, I differ from Hamsun. But it shouldn't be in excess, and most certainly it shouldn't be contrary with nature. We, humans, have misjudged the power of nature, and we are paying dearly today for our error.

Before closing my review, one word must be said about Hamsun's writing. It is picturesque and soothing. With his clever pen, he brings the Norwegian wilderness beautifully to life and transports the readers into the setting. He goes through every season in such detail that it is not only Isak, his family, and neighbours who are living it; we readers are too. I like when a book can do that, when it can transport you to the settings of the story. Knut Hamsun is one of my late discoveries, and the Growth of the Soil is my first exposure to him. It certainly won't be the last.

3.5/5

I'd like to say the controversy of the author's political beliefs does not affect my rating in the slightest, but that is almost certainly a lie. Saddening as it is, the knowledge made me a little more mindful and a lot less forgiving of the fundamental differences of opinion between the author and myself. Ultimately, it was the glorious reception that the book has been met with that made me decide on a lower rating. This is not one of those tomes that require my defense.

What I enjoyed was the easy pace, the healthy tendrils of culturally rich storyline, the understated poetry of humans fully committed to their landscape. What I didn't enjoy was the overt polemicizing, not out of any general dislike for such things but the fact of my many disagreements. Sometimes the naturalness of this occurring with certain authors dissuades me from thinking less of their books, but here it is impossible to belittle what I didn't like in order to portray the book in a better light to others.

If you know me, you know what's coming, and while I'd like to stop bothering myself over poor portrayal of women and other aspects correlating with my personal characteristics, it's not going to happen any time soon. However, there's something new added to my usual stew of complaints: Hamsun's portrayal of living in anything larger than a single farmstead, and the judgment he passes on those towns, cities, and all its citizens.

The cornerstone of this novel are the cares and characteristics of one Isak: strong, single-minded, and wholly subsumed in his desire to make his living on the soil. Unlike , all of his work bears fruit to an extraordinary degree, as does everyone and everything else around him so long as it submits to his way of living. Anything that goes against this is wrong, weak, spoiled and unnatural with the blame for such often lying in the midst of many an urbanized center. It happens to his wife Inger, it happens to his son Eleseus, over and over again Hamsun builds up these straw efforts to live on something other than rural fortitude and knocks them down again. I wouldn't have minded it nearly so much if Hamsun hadn't been so smug about the misfortunes of his characters whenever they deviate from the superhuman farmer mentality. I also wouldn't have minded had he at least been consistent about his lauding and condemnations.

Geissler. It gets my goat when all the life threatening dangers and complex issues of giving birth in rural areas are bundled off into sensationalist accounts of infanticide and demonized women with severely belittled arguments galore, while the insufferably proud and corrupt politician Geissler is turned into a glorified trickster god simply because he makes Isak happy. What is Geissler if not the hallmark of urban power, his wealth and fame built off of deceitful machinations, his only reason for cozening himself with Isak being revenge on the town that justly indicted him, all of this portrayed by Hamsun as not just acceptable, but heroic?

I have to wonder how the story would have gone if Isak had been truly left to living solely off his land; how well it would have gone had Geissler yet again abused the rural landowner's lack of real estate knowledge and traded their copper mine for a far paltrier sum that ran out far before the book was through. It's also funny to note that while everyone else becomes more twisted and malformed the longer they stay in urban centers, Geissler simply wanders unscathed through some sort of mysterious unknown when he's not dropping in to coddle his investment in Isak. He's not writing his letters to get Inger a lighter sentence and negotiating with his wife's family for financial assurance out in the rural home so esteemed in the book, that's for sure. So where's the something "rotting him from within" akin to the case of Elesus? Nowhere Hamsun can tell.

All of this amounts to a single issue: Hamsun obviously has a message, and I'm not buying it. Not everyone has the physical strength and soul consuming interest in building and growing and shiny tools to take the path Isak did and become rich in the process. Not everyone has the sheer luck to claim copper ridden land and not be cheated of it due to complete ignorance, or have that luck and ignorance extend to the realities of childbirth and just what physical and psychological traumas can occur due to having a womb, a male home provider who wants sex, and no contraception. The rating would have done better had I liked the prose or setting or cultural saturation more, or not read the far more complex and nonjudgmental beforehand. However, if you want to convince me of positives of bucolic living, making a big deal out of certain issues at the expense of others that I hold close to my heart is not the way to do it.

Expected proto-Nazi narrative propaganda. Instead found a mythic Norwegian backwoods agrarian Winesburg, Ohio emphasizing the virtue of hardwork/productivity for its own sake, cultivation (of soil and spirit), necessity over frivolity or desire for something more than nature provides, and literal/figurative rootedness. Loved the steady tone, how the tense switches within paragraphs (present tense for scenes, otherwise simple or continual past). Like in Tolstoy, POV able to access thoughts of so many characters thanks to steadiness. Loved the setting, the various character types, the morality, the petty power ploys, the longing for more than life in the woods, the vision of the devil with shivering pines nearby, the mines, Inger's randiness, the fallen tree, the big stone toward the end, the infanticides (and the overall overarching transcendent theme about achieving eternal life through cultivation of self, society, and soil). Only one anti-semitic comment toward the end uttered by one of the book's most charismatic characters -- he also rips Americans too -- whatever tempts settlers from life in synch with trees and mountains is dissed in this. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to join a back-to-the-land movement. Otherwise, not only is this enjoyable on a what happens next/story-progression level, it's instructive in terms of providing a positive model of perservence, dedication, hard work, even if Isak is pretty thick. Overall, this novel offers access to such a well-drawn world, a sort of Eden that's probably now (~120鈥�150 years later) crossed with highways and strip malls. Wish I'd read this soon after Hunger back in 1994 or so. Hope to get to Pan and Mysteries before the end of the year.

The rugged man stood there with a miracle before him; a thing created first of all in a sacred mist, showing forth now in life with a little face like an allegory.

The writing style of Hamsun鈥檚 鈥榚pic鈥� is quite different from the other two (earlier period) Hamsun novels I've read, and in some ways it reminded me of Buck's , though Hamsun is much more intrusive as a narrator. The above sentence is from early on in the novel and is easily my favorite, though it is with the allegorical aspects of this novel that I struggled. I struggled even more so with some of Hamsun's ideas, especially those embodied in the female characters.

The ending is beautifully written, if too romantic (of the land) for my tastes. Or perhaps it鈥檚 merely that, my preferences run less to this:

6 Estrelas 脡picas



鈥滱quela vereda comprida, comprid铆ssima que atravessa os p芒ntanos e a floresta: quem a abriu ao percorr锚-la? O homem, um ser humano, o primeiro que aqui surgiu. Antes da sua chegada, n茫o havia caminho.鈥� (P谩g. 7) 鈥� assim come莽a 鈥漁s Frutos da Terra鈥�, esse homem, esse ser humano 茅 Isak; 鈥漊m homem caminha vindo de norte. Transporta um saco 鈥� o primeiro saco 鈥� que cont茅m um farnel e alguns apetrechos. O homem 茅 forte e rude, e tem uma barba de um vermelho-ferro e pequenas cicatrizes no rosto e nas m茫os, testemunhos de velhas feridas 鈥� obteve-as a trabalhar ou em brigas? (鈥�) Caminha (鈥�) Quando, (鈥�), alcan莽a um s铆tio agrad谩vel, um espa莽o aberto na floresta, (鈥�) caminha (鈥�) O homem anui, a fim de confirmar que se estabelecer谩 ali 鈥� e, de facto, 茅 o que faz, 茅 ali que assenta arraiais. (鈥�) A pior parte fora encontrar o s铆tio mais prop铆cio, aquela terra de ningu茅m que, contudo, lhe pertence; agora os seus dias preenchem-se com trabalho.鈥� (P谩g. 7 鈥� 8) 鈥� Isak encontrou a sua 鈥渢erra鈥�; atrav茅s de um lap茫o errante pretende encontrar a sua "mulher": 鈥漀茫o conheces, por acaso uma mulher que me possa ajudar? 鈥� N茫o. Mas posso espalhar a palavra por onde viajar. 鈥� F谩-lo! Diz que tenho animais e ningu茅m que cuide deles.鈥� (P谩g. 9) 鈥� essa mulher ser谩 Inger, que chegou e nunca partiu - 鈥漁 amor transforma os s谩bios em tolos (鈥�)鈥�. (P谩g. 14) 鈥� uma companheira com a boca desfigurada, o l谩bio leporino, desembara莽ada e diligente, uma b锚n莽茫o.


Isak (Amund Rydland) - Filme "Markens gr酶de" (1921) de Gunnar Sommerfeldt

Isak edifica uma habita莽茫o: 鈥渦ma cabana de turfa, apertada e quente鈥� e a fam铆lia aumenta: primeiro nascem dois rapazes, Eleseus e Sivert, dois filhos muito diferentes no comportamento e na atitude; mais tarde duas raparigas, Leopoldina e Rebecca.


Isak (Amund Rydland) e Inger (Karen Poulsen) - Filme "Markens gr酶de" (1921) de Gunnar Sommerfeldt

Knut Hamsun constr贸i a narrativa de 鈥漁s Frutos da Terra鈥� em duas partes: a Parte I e a Parte II, duas hist贸rias interligadas; na Parte I o relato centra-se, essencialmente, em Isak, um homem trabalhador e determinado, excepcionalmente virtuoso e individualista, com c贸digos de honra e conduta irrepreens铆veis, humilde e honesto, com uma reputa莽茫o imaculada, conquista o respeito de todas as pessoas; detesta as tarefas burocr谩ticas, come莽a por desbravar uma 谩rea in贸spita e pantanosa, tornando-a ar谩vel, adora a terra, os animais e as 谩rvores, gerindo ambientalmente a floresta, um verdadeiro empreendedor, que investe, sistematicamente, na constru莽茫o e amplia莽茫o das suas instala莽玫es agr铆colas e pecu谩rias, que se moderniza, nomeadamente, na aquisi莽茫o e utiliza莽茫o das novas tecnologias agr铆colas e florestais, tornando Sellanraa, numa quinta modelo e Isak num homem rico, com notoriedade e sucesso, apesar de n茫o saber ler e escrever.
Independentemente das vicissitudes e da extrema dificuldade do trabalho agr铆cola e florestal, Isak e Inger, enfrentam as adversidades decorrentes dessas tarefas e das contrariedades climat茅ricas inerentes 脿 localiza莽茫o da sua quinta no norte da Noruega, sempre com um sorriso nos l谩bios.
Na Parte II, Knut Hamsun estrutura a narrativa, basicamente, nas viv锚ncias de Aksel Strom, propriet谩rio da quinta Maaneland, na rela莽茫o conturbada com a sua criada, Barbro, filha de Brede Olsen, um agricultor falhado que acaba por perder a sua propriedade Breidablik.
Das in煤meras personagens secund谩rias, destaco uma: o meirinho Geissler, mais tarde, ex-funcion谩rio local, que se torna num empreendedor, um 鈥渟onhador鈥� inveterado, que mant茅m com Isak uma m煤tua rela莽茫o de amizade e confian莽a.
Ap贸s a publica莽茫o em 1917 de 鈥漁s Frutos da Terra鈥�, no original 鈥滿arkens Gr酶de鈥�, Knut Hamsun 茅 galardoado em 1920 com o Pr茅mio Nobel da Literatura.
H谩 uma quest茫o controversa directamente relacionada com Knut Hamsun: o facto de ter sido simpatizante nazista e admirador de Adolf Hitler e de Joseph Goebbels, a quem ofereceu a medalha recebida pelo Pr茅mio Nobel da Literatura. Um comportamento pol铆tico controverso que determina sentimentos ambivalentes em rela莽茫o 脿 genialidade da sua produ莽茫o liter谩ria.
鈥漁s Frutos da Terra鈥� deveria ser um livro de leitura obrigat贸ria nas Universidades portuguesas, na 谩rea da Gest茫o, da 脡tica e do Empreendedorismo, no dom铆nio da Agricultura e da Floresta; para os que valorizam a preserva莽茫o da fam铆lia, independentemente, dos percal莽os amorosos e da felicidade, para os leitores que adoraram .
Por fim, dois destaques: primeiro, o excepcional trabalho de tradu莽茫o do noruegu锚s do amigo GR 鈥� n茫o 茅 f谩cil traduzir um livro escrito em 1917, com singularidades pr贸prias na linguagem e nos di谩logos e, sobretudo, num romance repleto de termos t茅cnicos ligados 脿 agricultura e 脿 floresta que evolu铆ram na sua especificidade e na sua utiliza莽茫o (s贸 tenho d煤vida na 鈥渃orti莽a da b茅tula鈥�); segundo, no not谩vel trabalho editorial da Cavalo de Ferro, a melhor editora portuguesa.
鈥漁s Frutos da Terra鈥� 茅 um livro deslumbrante, uma 鈥渉ist贸ria鈥� comovente e dram谩tica, verdadeiramente inesquec铆vel鈥�

I believe it鈥檚 fair to make a statement after reading three books by the author.
I state the following:
Knut Hamsun is the greatest writer in the modern era.

Diverse , influential and writes beautifully.
He doesn鈥檛 belong to the 19th Century, nor does he belong to the 20th. He is a phase in literature by his own.
A case can be made that no other author influenced more people than him except maybe Dante, Homer, Gothe and Shakespeare.

In this book he as usual tackles Man & Nature. But this time I believe Nature is the main topic. In Hunger and Pan the main topic is the protagonist and his thoughts and emotions meanwhile her it鈥檚 the man and his land.
Not only the writing is beautiful and immersive but also the characters are very well written. It doesn鈥檛 come as a surprise in a Hamsun book because I have always found his character interesting and compelling. Naturally Isak comes to mind because he is the protagonist of the book ( after the land) but personally I found Geissler to be the most interesting and well written of all the characters in this book.

divno, divno, divno. pastorala pisana 1917. o te啪a膷kom 啪ivotu u norve拧koj, o 膶ovjeku i Zemlji, u trudu i muci, o Bogu koji daje i ne daje. u sjajnom prijevodu a. b. 拧imi膰a koji svakom rje膷ju do膷arava ljepotu atmosfere i vje拧to koristi rije膷i koje smo mo啪da putem zaboravili: krasuljak, vjedrica, rublje, sukno, pa拧njak, kr膷evina, 拧pranjica... re膷enice su toliko jednostavne, a bogate zna膷enjima... hamsun ka啪e malo, a ispri膷a sve. 膷itanje ove knjige je putovanje u norve拧ku u nekom drugom vremenu, a ljudi - njihovi strahovi, misli, ljubomore, 膷e啪nje i te啪nje - ostaju svevremeni.

A ten star book and a true masterpiece. What more can one possibly say?

I will state what H. G. Wells said:

"I do not know how to express the admiration I feel for this wonderful book without seeming to be extravagant. I am not usually lavish with my praise, but indeed the book impresses me as among the very greatest novels I have ever read. It is wholly beautiful: it is saturated with wisdom and humor and tenderness".

I follow his thoughts entirely.

This novel is divided into two books.

Isak goes into the wilderness in Norway. He is way into the hinterland. He finds a place that suits him, not even thinking that the land belongs to the state. This is a book of survival but with a man who is so happy with his new found state. He cultivates land, does a little building, acquires livestock and tells a passing Lapp that he would like to meet a woman. His wish is granted with the arrival of Inger. She has a hairlip and there's an old saying that if you are given a hare, well a hairlip is going to arrive. She gets on well with Isak, too well in fact as soon she has two boys. But the odd thing is that she has to be alone at each birth and always ensures that Isak is not there. Everything is fine until the arrival of the third child, a girl. I was mesmerised by this part of the book. Anyway, life continues and Inger proves to be quite a fascinating individual who finds that her world suddenly takes a completely different direction that will influence her entire life.

Anyway all in all this is yes a depressing, multi-faceted, but brilliant book and I'm not at all surprised that Hamsun won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. I had loved "Hunger" by him but this book indeed surpasses it.

To fully appreciate Knut Hamsun, one has to first get beyond his political stance during WWII, a veneration of sorts of the strength & the seeming force of will of Nazi Germany. Many gifted writers have been guilty of falling prey to the lure of power, fascist or otherwise & to antisemitism, including Ezra Pound and Jack Kerouac. While it is impossible to overlook Hamsun's post-Nobel award life and his precipitous fall from literary grace, eventually becoming poor & dispossessed, one has to attempt to view the author's novels and most of all, Growth of the Soil, on their own merits.



Isak, the novel's main character perhaps reflects Hamsun's view of the curative power of the soil and begins working on land that belongs to the state, later building a sod hut and eventually gaining title to the land, becoming in the process a sort of archetype of the "natural man" who takes his cues from the soil while remaining adaptable to the vagaries of weather & climate.

Gradually, he fashions the acres into an estate, "Sellanra". A woman named Inger, wanders onto Isak's compound to become his common law wife, though in time they marry & have children but not without some misfortune that causes a rift in their relationship, including a period when Inger is sent away to prison near Trondheim, using that time away to learn to read & to appreciate a world beyond her life in a small Norwegian village.

In Isak's view of himself: "the ground was there, the forest was there; he had tilled & cleared, built up a homestead in the midst of natural wilderness, winning bread for himself & his family, asking nothing of any man but always working, working alone." He taught his sons "about stones, how the white stone was harder than the gray; but when he found a flint, he must make tinder & then could strike fire with it".

Always, the natural man prevails if he works hard enough and "a man of the wild was not put out by things he could not get; art, newspapers, luxuries, politics & such-like were worth just what folk were willing to pay for them, no more". Meanwhile, the growth of the soil was something different, "a thing to be procured at any cost; the only origin of all."

Isak's children are a mixed lot, with Eleseus gifted & worldly but not at home on the family estate, while his brother Sivert is a "jester", rough-hewn & suited to the farm. In time, Eleseus takes over a store but has no business sense, loses money & eventually takes a steamer to America, never to return.

There is also Geisler, a kind of mystery figure, keen on the value of the mine he owns, holding out against a conglomerate. He declares, "I'm something, I'm the fog, as it were, floating around, sometimes coming like rain on dry ground, while my son is like lightening, the modern type & honestly believes all the age, all the Jew & Yankee have taught". The author infers that "modern types" somehow avoid the lessons of the soil.



Growth of the Soil is a kind of extended parable in which those who work with their hands & tend the soil will prevail, all else being speculation & idleness. One might say that in Knut Hamsun's view of the world, simplicity & hard manual labor are the keys to success and the growth of the soil leads to the growth of the soul.

Growth of the Soil, is a novel by Knut Hamsun which won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. It follows the story of a Norwegian man who settles on undeveloped wooded land in rural Norway. The author clearly wanted to make the point that the soil is the source of true value, and that hard work consistently applied over many years was required to turn that inherent value into wealth. As part of the plot the author shows that the apparent easy wealth from mining is illusory.

To illustrate the importance of work, the book's cast of characters includes a variety of personalities illustrating how those who don't work will most likely not succeed. It is also made clear that those who are content of live simply will fare better than those with expensive living habits.

The role of women is also highlighted, and two instances of infanticide are included as part of the plot. In the first case the guilty woman spends six years in a prison where she learns how to sew and the hare-lip with which she was born is corrected by surgery. This is clearly an assertion that prisons function best when they emphasize reformation over punishment.

The second case of infanticide that's part of the book is that of a single woman who felt driven to it my societal pressures. At the trial there's a local woman鈥攖he sheriff's wife鈥攚ho demands the opportunity to give testimony regarding the case. The following is a portion of what she told the court.
"We women," the sheriff's wife said, "we are an unhappy and subjugated half of mankind. Men make the laws; we women have no influence on this. But can any man imagine what it means to a woman to have a child? Has he experienced the anxiety, has he felt the excruciating pain and woe and screams? In this case, a maid has had a child. She is unmarried, so she is supposed to bear this child in her body while trying to hide it. Why hide it? Because of society. Society has contempt for the unmarried woman who is pregnant. Not only does it not protect her, it persecutes her with contempt and shame. Isn't that awful? It is enough to infuriate any person with a beating heart. The young woman is not only going to bring a child into the world, which may seem bad enough, but she is also to be treated as a criminal because of it. I venture to say that it was sheer luck that this young woman sitting here in the dock, that her child accidentally was born in that creek and drowned. It was fortunate both for her and the child. As long as society is the way it is, no unmarried mother should be punished, even if she killed her child."
The above is a less than subtle message to the reader that role of women needs to be improved. This impresses me as a quite enlightened point of view for the time in which it was written.

Unfortunately, the author Knut Hamsun in latter years fell out of favor with the literary world because of his support for the Nazis after the German invasion of Norway in 1940.

"... 鈥� nascera e, agora, morrera..."

Os Frutos da Terra conta a hist贸ria de um homem que numa floresta norueguesa, onde nada existe, constr贸i, ao longo de anos e 脿 for莽a de bra莽os, um lugar para viver e constituir fam铆lia.

A primeira parte do romance foi muito emocionante, mas a partir de um determinado epis贸dio, que me pareceu inconsistente, pus o cora莽茫o ao largo e li o restante apenas com a cabe莽a, apreciando a escrita e o desenvolvimento do enredo. E foi bom...
Apenas uma personagem - Geissler - me encantou; a 煤nica que achei genu铆na, porque surpreendente e intrigante, e com um comportamento n茫o linear. As outras achei-as sempre iguais, ao longo dos anos e entre si.

"O homem e a natureza n茫o se bombardeiam um ao outro, vivem em acordo, n茫o competem nem correm atr谩s de nada; caminham juntos."
T锚m tudo porque viver, tudo com que viver, tudo em que acreditar, nascem e d茫o 脿 luz, e s茫o essenciais 脿 terra. Sustentam a vida. Persistem de gera莽茫o em gera莽茫o e sentem-se completos ao simplesmente procriar; quando morrem, os filhos tomam o vosso lugar. 脡 este o significado da vida eterna."


N茫o acredito que este seja o caminho para a felicidade, ou para a vida ideal.
E Knut Hamsun tamb茅m n茫o creio que acreditasse, preferindo criar Arte em vez de semear a terra; para prazer dos seus leitores, que n茫o se sentem "completos ao simplesmente procriar".

Um perfeito retrato de vidas em plena uni茫o com o c茅u e a terra.

鈥淎li est谩 o primeiro homem a habitar a regi茫o remota. Quando ali chegou, o lodo subia-lhe at茅 aos joelhos e depois encontrou uma ladeira e a铆 se instalou. Seguiram-se-lhe outros, que percorreram um caminho nos baldios vazios, que foram seguidos por outros, e o caminho tornou-se uma estrada por onde agora avan莽avam com carro莽as.
Isak deveria estar satisfeito, orgulhoso. Era o fundador da povoa莽茫o, era ele o margrave.鈥�


Gente simples. T茫o simples!
Gente humilde. Por vezes, ing茅nuos 脿s trapa莽as alheias.
Trabalhadores. T茫o trabalhadores!

鈥淎 vida era composta por trabalho e sono, amor e sonhos.鈥�
鈥淒eram-se grandes mudan莽as em Sellanraa. Nada era como nos prim贸rdios, e a quinta estava irreconhec铆vel: havia edif铆cios de todos os g茅neros, uma serra莽茫o e um moinho, e o mato bravio tornara-se um lar para alguns seres humanos.鈥�


Parcos discursos. Palavras veladas. Sentimentos ocultos.
A formata莽茫o dos di谩logos ao longo do livro obedece, segundo o tradutor, ao texto original, e que bem que ficou, sendo incomum tornou-se em mais um desafio na leitura.
Eram assim, e assim eram felizes, at茅 um dia fat铆dico que acabou por ter consequ锚ncias que mudaram as suas vidas.

鈥淐urioso como a vis茫o que se tinha do mundo podia mudar!鈥�
鈥溾€� se vira transformada numa palradora, pronta a cavaquear com qualquer um. N茫o, j谩 n茫o era a Inger inocente e genu铆na que costumava ser.鈥�
鈥淚nger, am铆ude, voltava a ser como era nos velhos tempos e fazia um belo trabalho no curral ou nos campos 鈥� era como se apercebesse da sua conduta errada e regressasse ao seu eu compassivo. Nessas ocasi玫es, Isak olhava para a esposa com os olhos repletos de gratid茫o, e fosse ele homem de expressar as suas opini玫es 鈥︹€�


Mas n茫o era e a mudan莽a tardava.

Contudo, ningu茅m consegue viver embrenhado no mato e, ao mesmo tempo, distrair-se a todo o tempo com futilidades.

鈥淏asta ver-vos em Sellanraa: olham todos os dias para as montanhas azuis, que n茫o s茫o coisas inventadas, mas montanhas antigas, bem enraizadas no passado. Olhem, ali est谩 a natureza, pertence-vos e aos vossos. O homem e a natureza n茫o se bombardeiam um ao outro, vivem em acordo, n茫o competem nem correm atr谩s de nada; caminham juntos. Voc锚s, de Sellanraa, vivem e possuem a vossa ess锚ncia no meio de tudo isto. As montanhas, a floresta, as charnecas, os prados, o c茅u e as estrelas: n茫o h谩 nada de pomposo ou artificial em tudo isto, e 茅 tudo incomensur谩vel. T锚m tudo porque viver, tudo com que viver, tudo em que acreditar, nascem e d茫o 脿 luz, e s茫o essenciais 脿 terra. Sustentam a vida.鈥�

Achei surreal o feito deste colono, de nada ter al茅m das suas m茫os e a sua for莽a exponencial, transformando um p芒ntano numa quinta onde nada faltava num perfeito respeito e equil铆brio com a natureza.
Uma narrativa simples, com pessoas boas e menos boas e um vislumbre das diverg锚ncias da vida no campo e na cidade.

Publicado em 1917, "os frutos da terra" conta a saga de Isak, um homem forte fisicamente e de car谩cter, que se estabelece sozinho numa regi茫o isolada na Noruega e, atrav茅s do seu trabalho, cria uma fam铆lia e uma quinta, tornando-se assim auto-suficiente.

脡 um livro estranho ao princ铆pio, ou foi estranho para mim porque nunca tinha lido nada assim. Mas depois, percebemos que o livro n茫o tem um prop贸sito, n茫o tem um objectivo final. 脡 "s贸" a descri莽茫o da vida de uma fam铆lia que vive no meio do nada e a evolu莽茫o desse nada que ao longo dos anos se vai transformando em algo. E 茅 esta descri莽茫o, 茅 esta fam铆lia que n贸s n茫o conseguimos largar.

As descri莽玫es da Natureza s茫o lindas de se ler, consegui imaginar-me no meio do mato no Norte da Noruega. A constru莽茫o da narrativa 茅 t茫o bonita, h谩 qualquer coisa, uma sensibilidade que se sente durante toda a leitura, algo que ainda n茫o consigo explicar. Este 茅 um livro muito completo, muito complexo e ao mesmo tempo muito simples.
Trai莽玫es, dramas, infantic铆dios, fofocas, invejas e intrigas, este 茅 um livro que n茫o se foca s贸 na rela莽茫o do homem com a natureza (algo que 茅 central no livro) mas do homem com o outro.

Nos anos 30/40, Hamsun assumiu-se como simpatizante do regime nazi, encontrou-se com Hitler e Goebbles, e at茅 chegou a oferecer a medalha do Nobel 脿 "causa nazi" 馃ぎ馃ぎ
Knut Hamsun era uma personagem controversa, o facto de ser apoiante dos nazis 茅 repugnante e algo imperdo谩vel, mas ainda assim eu escolho ler os livros dele. N茫o por causa disto, nem apesar disto.

Neste livro d谩 para perceber que o autor era brilhante e "os frutos da terra" 茅, na minha opini茫o, uma obra-prima. A tradu莽茫o do @joaoreis.author tamb茅m est谩 excelente.

Voc锚s sabem quando terminam um livro (e mesmo durante a leitura) e pensam "este livro 茅 brilhante, 茅 majestoso, 茅 soberbo"? Quando percebem que acabaram de ler uma obra-prima, algo t茫o bem escrito que pensam "茅 por isto que eu leio". 脡 por livros assim que eu leio, livros t茫o bem escritos, t茫o fascinantes

Prie拧 imdama skaityt roman膮 TIKRAI maniau, kad bus sud臈tingas, pretenzingas, megasuperduper intelektualus, nes gi gav臋s Nobel寞 ir pana拧iai. O n臈 velnio. Nesuklyskit ir j奴s taip manydami apie knyg膮 - ji ne寞tik臈tinai lengvai ir 寞domiai skaitosi, o kiekvienas sakinys - literat奴ros gro啪io 寞rodymas. 艩i knyga man buvo gyvas 寞rodymas ir priminimas kod臈l a拧 taip dievinu skaitym膮 ir kiek daug knygos mums duoda.

I拧 esm臈s, negaliu jums nei papasakot apie 寞vykius knygoje, nei ka啪kokio siu啪eto. 膶ia tiesiog yra l臈ta, rami, nuo gamtos priklausoma 啪emdirbi懦 gyvenimo t臈km臈. Drab拧tus, dievobaimingas ir i拧 sielos teisingas Izaokas vienas pats negyvenamoje 啪em臈je 寞sikuria namus. Labai pama啪u, bet nenuilstant ir devynis prakaitus liejant jis sukuria 奴k寞, susiranda moter寞, ir u啪mir拧tas, apleistas, kalnuotas 啪em臈s lopin臈lis virsta namais. Atsikrausto ir kit懦 拧eim懦, ta膷iau viskas pagrinde sukasi apie Izaoko gyvenim膮, d啪iaugsmus, vargus ir 啪em臋.

Kaip gra啪iai para拧yta ir i拧versta knyga. Kiek marg懦 lietuvi拧k懦 啪od啪i懦 yra: pasturlaka, apveidesnis, stamantresnis, b臈dinas, 寞teikliai, k臋smas... Kiek daug g臈rio yra palikta tarp eilu膷i懦. I拧vis - kaip 拧ilta skaityti apie paprastus 啪mones, j懦 paprastus vargus, paprastus gyvenimus ir nuklydimus.

This is what made me want to read this book:

From by (pages 163-164):

鈥淥n this day, Norman removed a book from its shelf. Whenever he presented me with a book, it had a ceremonious feel, as though he were laying a sword on my shoulder inducting me into an ancient brotherhood.

The book was Growth of the Soil by the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun. The copy he gave me had once belonged to Norma M. Saylor, who lived in Palmyra, New Jersey.

鈥業t鈥檚 an essential book. A necessary one,鈥� Norman Berg said in that throaty catechist voice. 鈥業t鈥檚 the most important book I鈥檝e ever read. I named my farm Sellanraa in honor of Isak the man who builds his home and raises a family out of nothing.鈥�

鈥業鈥檒l read it.鈥�

鈥榊ou don鈥檛 just read this book,鈥� Norman said. 鈥榊ou must enter in. Live it. It contains the great truth.鈥�

鈥榃hich is?鈥�

鈥楨verything of virtue springs from the soil. Civilization always comes along to ruin it. But you can always find the truth if it comes from the earth.鈥�

鈥業t sounds like the most boring book ever written.鈥�

鈥楻ead it. Then decide.鈥�鈥�
