Description
A miller's son, Johannes, falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy landowner, Victoria. The novel follows them through adolescence, as Johannes struggles with the social hierarchy and becomes a successful author, and Victoria is forced into marrying Otto, a lieutenant, to save the troubled family economy. A lyrical excursion into unconsummated love, love that is described memorably as 'Blood and Blossoms'.

Author's Bio
Knut Hamsun was the most influential writer of the late nineteenth century, creating a new literary style and a new literary type, the alienated outsider (typified in Mysteries), which became defining elements of modernism. In Growth of the Soil he created a novel of Biblical power, while Dreamers shows the gentler comic side of his imagination. Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920 and died in 1952.
