HUNGER IBD

Sinopse

Hunger is a novel written by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. It was first published in 1890 and is considered one of Hamsun?s most important works. The novel is set in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway, and follows the story of a struggling writer who is suffering from hunger and poverty.The protagonist of the novel is an unnamed young man who is trying to make a living as a writer. He is constantly hungry and is unable to afford food or shelter. He wanders the streets of Kristiania, begging for money, stealing food, and trying to sell his writing to publishers.As the novel progresses, the protagonist?s hunger becomes more and more desperate, and he begins to experience hallucinations and delusions. He becomes obsessed with a young woman he meets, and his hunger drives him to commit a series of increasingly desperate and irrational acts.Hamsun?s writing style is characterized by its psychological depth and vivid imagery. He uses stream-of-consciousness narration to capture the protagonist?s inner thoughts and feelings, and his descriptions of the city and its inhabitants are vivid and evocative.Hunger is a powerful and haunting novel that explores themes of poverty, alienation, and the human struggle for survival. It is considered a classic of modernist literature and has influenced many writers, including Franz Kafka and Ernest Hemingway.I was hungry--very hungry. The ten shillings had, worse luck, lasted all too short. It was now two, ay, nearly three days since I had eaten anything, and I felt somewhat faint, holding the pencil even had taxed me a little. I had half a penknife and a bunch of keys in my pocket, but not a farthing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
