WORKS BY KNUT HAMSUN
(NORWEGIAN)
(NOBEL PRIZE, 1920)
Translated by W. WORSTER, M.A.
GROWTH OF THE SOIL
“ ‘Growth of the Soil’ is a beautiful work of genius… a triumphant exhibition of what can be done with an objective method by a proved master.”–Westminster Gazette. “An absorbing story told with a marvellous simplicity.”–Times Literary Supplement. “A picture of infinite tenderness and humanity.”–Daily Telegraph. “Not for a long time have I been held fascinated by the development of a single human being in fiction as I am with this man Isak.”–Clement Shorter in The Sphere. “Knut Hamsun… is one of the creators, one of the Prometheans who have stolen fire from heaven. He has the godlike qualities that belong to the very great, the completest omniscience about human nature.”–Rebecca West, in The New Statesman. “…indescribably calm and tremendous… so entirely human, that we cannot skip one line… the critical faculty abdicates and there is nothing left but words of praise… whatever else Knut Hamsun may have written should be translated with the least possible delay.”–Henry Babrlein in the Christmas number of The Bookman. “New novels of lasting value have been very rare of late. Here, at least, is one.”–Review of Reviews.
PAN
“Exquisite… the more one reads the book the more one realizes its witchery. It is one of the few pieces of contemporary fiction which is worthy of a place in the most select library.”–Country Life. “ ‘Pan’ will serve to increase the warmth of welcome which ‘Growth of the Soil’ has already won.… The introduction of a new note into our literature… an extraordinary fascination.”–Daily Telegraph. “A great novel… a merciless piece of self-revelation… a book that has few equals in any literature.”–Evening Standard. “Simple and powerful… strong and absorbing in its insight into the vital springs of human passion.”–Scotsman. “This beautiful work.”–Glasgow Herald. “A love story of a most unusual type, with a rare, wistful charm… a book which no reader should miss.”–Weekly Dispatch. “Is marked by flashes of rare poetic beauty… a wonderful bit of literary craftsmanship.”–Aberdeen Free Press.
MOTHWISE
“In ‘Mothwise,’ Knut Hamsun has written a quaint, charming and delightfully unconventional story, a story which must on no account be missed by the rapidly growing numbers of readers to whom he is as a breath of pure, fresh air in modern fiction.”–The Tailer. “Its rollicking spirit gives it a most agreeable flavour.”–Scotsman. “Altogether fresh and delightful.”–Daily News. “Convincing and curiously beautiful characters.”–Daily News. “It comes to us as a skilful piece of diversion, with touches of sober poetic beauty.”–Observer. “Witchery and charm that is as elusive as it is fascinating… has an elemental simplicity that is only to be equalled (in different art) by the music of the Rhine Maidens in Wagner’s ‘Niebelungen Ring.’ ”–The Field.
