大地的成长（诺贝尔文学奖作家作品）
(norwegian) Knut Hamsun
"The Growth of the Earth" tells the story of a farmer who reclaimed wasteland with his own hands, married a wife, had children, and established a family. At the beginning of the book, readers are transported away from the modern civilized world and returned to the desolate wilderness. The protagonist, "tough guy" Isaac, and Inger, a straightforward and strong woman with a harelip, lived a peaceful life here and had two sons and three daughters. Later, many other families moved in here, and it was impossible for people's interests to be satisfied. It was only when people finally realized that they were just an insignificant part in this world that they were able to finally move towards peace and quiet. In this place far away from the world, everyone's fate is different, which actually represents the entire society.
