Sneak peek “Here was the endless prairie, so rich in its blessings of fertility, but also full of great loneliness--a form of freedom which curiously affected the minds of strangers, especially those to whom the Lord had given a sad heart.” ― O.E. Rölvaag, Giants in the Earth Synopsis The book chronicles the hardships of a Norwegian family as they attempt to establish themselves as pioneers in the Dakota region. At a period when most authors concentrated on the romance and glitz of the West, Rölvaag was concerned in psychology and the human cost of empire development. His own experiences as a settler and his wife's family's experience as an immigrant homesteader are both reflected in the book. Representations of snow storms, poverty, and hunger, as well as loneliness, homesickness, and being strangers in a new land, and the alienation of immigrant children growing up in a foreign place portray both the dismal reality of pioneering and the bleak fatalism of the Norse psyche. It is a novel that is both thoroughly European and uniquely American.
