Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun is another not that holy book. However, Hamsun was one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time and his insight into elemental existence and human nature is mindblowing. “Growth of the Soil” is the book that secured him the Nobel Prize for literature in 1920, and it was the book the common man of the day valued more than any other of his works. Growth of the Soil was also printed as special “field-editions” by Nazi-Germany to send with their soldiers to the fronts. Download Growth of the Soil here (20.3MB/432 pages):
