About this book
Creators: Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) and George Egerton (1859-1945) [Translator] "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun is a novel published in 1890. Set in late 19th-century Kristiania, it follows an unnamed, starving young writer wandering the streets as his mental and physical state deteriorates. While trying to maintain respectability, he descends into delusional existence, overwhelmed by poverty and pride. The novel explores the irrational depths of the human mind through detailed psychological analysis, depicting a self-destructive protagonist who refuses to surrender his dignity even as hunger consumes him.
