Giants in the Earth - 8202

Set against the unforgiving plains of the Dakota Territory in 1873, Giants in the Earth is a timeless tale of resilience, hope, and heartache. Per Hansa and his wife Beret, Norwegian immigrants yearning for a fresh start, stake their claim on the frontier alongside other immigrant families. Together, they battle the harsh realities of pioneer life: brutal winters, relentless locust swarms, poverty, and the overwhelming isolation of an unfamiliar land. But as the settlers carve out a new existence, cultural divides, homesickness, and the inevitable pull of change threaten their fragile dreams. Richly drawn and deeply moving, Rølvaag’s masterpiece illuminates the strength and sacrifice required to build a life in a strange and unyielding world. First published in Norwegian and later translated into English, Giants in the Earth forms the cornerstone of a trilogy that chronicles the immigrant experience in America. A compelling blend of history and human drama, this novel is as enduring as the prairie it describes.
