 See note from my brother mm below.


I looked up Knut Hamsun. Remember that name well. Read part of his 
novel Pan, again while in high school. It was in our home 'almirah',
dog eared and worm holed. Must have been obtained by one of my
brothers.


Maati aru Manuh WAS a translation of Knut Hamsun's Nobel Prize 
winning epic Growth of the Soil.
See below and

That Isak was the lead character as I remember well, is the clear
proof, as is the story line.

So the author, most likely was Dinanath Sarma.

BTW it was a riveting book.

Growth of the Soil
Synopsis

The epic novel of man and nature that won its author the Nobel Prize
in Literature-the first new English translation since the novel's
original publication ninety years ago 

When it was first published in 1917, Growth of the Soil was
immediately recognized as a masterpiece. Ninety years later it
remains a transporting literary experience. In the story of Isak, who
leaves his village to clear a homestead and raise a family amid the 
untilled tracts of the Norwegian back country, Knut Hamsun evokes the
elemental bond between humans and the land. Newly translated by the
acclaimed Hamsun scholar Sverre Lyngstad, Hamsun's novel is a work of 
preternatural calm, stern beauty, and biblical power-and the crowning
achievement of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
Annotation

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. The story of an 
elemental existence in rural Norway.
