Review

"I read these novels with the gently expanding recognition due only to the
great writers." -- Doris Lessing

"One of the great writers of this century... Hamsun's novels have the
simplicity of total self-possession." -- 'Sunday Times'

"The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from
Hamsun." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer

"A rare understanding of human nature comes through, expressed in
a measured, elegiac and lyrical prose."
-- 'Sunday Telegraph'

About the Author

Born in 1859, Knut Hamsun's early works were forceful and polemic before he became more compassionate is his later work, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920 for 'Growth of the Soil'. He has been recognised as one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century, the inspiration for much of the Modernist fiction, especially in the work of Ernest Hemingway.
