Böcker av Knut Hamsun

Growth of the Soil, Knut Hamsun's Nobel Prize winning novel, is an abiding classic of Scandinavian literature.At the time it was published, the literary world was in the throes of shifting to a modernist style. Popular novels were set in the contemporary present, with technological and societal advancements forming part of the narrative backdrop. Growth of the Soil openly displays the conflicts between the old traditions of agrarian society, and the ever-mounting wonders and conveniences offered by modern society. The farmer Isak scarcely acknowledges the values of modern living. Illiterate but capable of carrying out the business of running a farm, he has physical strength and works with his hands. Although initially amazed by Isak's prowess - his wife Inger, who came into contact with modern society when imprisoned for killing her infant due to its birth defect, return to the home much less impressed by the country life.

A grand, sweeping saga of sacrifice and struggle by a Nobel Laureate, this tale recaptures the world of Norwegian homesteaders at the turn of the 20th century.

Growth of the Soil (Norwegian Markens Grøde), is a novel by Knut Hamsun which won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. It follows the story of a man who settles and lives in rural Norway. First published in 1917, it has since been translated from Norwegian into languages such as English. The novel was written in the popular style of Norwegian new realism, a movement dominating the early 20th century. The novel exemplified Hamsun's aversion to modernity and inclination towards primitivism and the agrarian lifestyle. The novel employed literary techniques new to the time such as stream of consciousness. Hamsun tended to stress the relationship between his characters and the natural environment. Growth of the Soil portrays the protagonist (Isak) and his family as awed by modernity, yet at times, they come into conflict with it. The novel contains two sections entitled Book One and Book Two. The first book focuses almost solely on the story of Isak and his family and the second book starts off by following the plight of Axel and ends mainly focusing on Isak's family. (wikipedia.org)

Dans une veine semiautobiographique, le romancier décrit les mois sombres de son narrateur, une sorte d'alter ego qui erre dans Christiania (ancien nom de la ville d'Oslo), avant d'embarquer sur un bateau. (...) Le héros du récit n'est en aucune manière un miséreux qui ne parvient pas à gagner suffisamment d'argent pour se nourrir et il n'est pas présenté comme un sujet pathologique, par avance victime du déterminisme social et d'une hérédité de classe. Cette «faim», il la provoque luimême, en décide seul et la chérit. Elle est sa muse, sa compagne d'écriture et, en un sens, son réconfort en dépit de la douleur, des visions et des délires qu'elle lui procure. L'argent que le narrateur parvient à recevoir des journaux à qui il propose ses articles est fort rapidement dilapidé, souvent de manière altruiste...La seule chose qui me gênât un peu, c'était, malgré mon dégoût de la nourriture, la faim quand même. Je commençais à me sentir de nouveau un appétit scandaleux, une profonde et féroce envie de manger qui croissait et croissait sans cesse. Elle me rongeait impitoyablement la poitrine ; un travail silencieux, étrange, se faisait là-dedans.Knut Hamsun.

Geschrieben von mir, geschrieben heute, um mein Herz zu erleichtern. Ich habe meine Stellung im Café verloren und meine frohen Tage.Ein junger Herr in grauem Anzug kam Abend für Abend mit zwei Freunden und setzte sich an einen meiner Tische. Es kamen so viele Herren und alle hatten ein freundliches Wort für mich, nur er nicht. Er war groß und schlank, hatte weiches, schwarzes Haar und blaue Augen, mit denen er mich zuweilen streifte, und einen Anflug von Bart auf der Oberlippe.Nun, er mochte anfangs wohl etwas gegen mich haben. Er kam eine ganze Woche hindurch ununterbrochen. Ich hatte mich an ihn gewöhnt und vermißte ihn, als er eines Abends ausblieb. Ich ging durch das ganze Café und sah mich nach ihm um; endlich fand ich ihn an einer der großen Säulen am anderen Ende; er saß mit einer Dame vom Cirkus zusammen. Sie trug ein gelbes Kleid und lange Handschuhe, die bis über die Ellenbogen reichten. Sie war jung und hatte schöne, dunkle Augen, und meine Augen waren blau.Ich blieb einen Augenblick bei ihnen stehen und hörte zu, wovon sie sprachen: sie machte ihm Vorwürfe, sie war seiner überdrüssig und hieß ihn gehen. Ich dachte in meinem Herzen: Heilige Jungfrau, warum geht er nicht zu mir?Am nächsten Abend kam er mit seinen beiden Freunden und nahm wieder an meinem Tisch Platz. Ich ging nicht heran, wie ich sonst wohl that, sondern stellte mich, als hätte ich sie nicht bemerkt. Als er mir winkte, trat ich an den Tisch und sagte: »Sie waren gestern nicht hier.«»Wie wundervoll unsere Kellnerin gewachsen ist,« sagte er zu seinen Kameraden.
