Hunger by Knut Hamsun
"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 city streets as his mental and physical state deteriorates. While struggling to maintain respectability, he experiences delusions, self-destructive behavior, and the slow collapse of his grip on reality. Through detailed psychological analysis, the novel explores the irrational workings of the human mind under extreme deprivation, creating what has
been called a pioneering work of modern, psychology-driven literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
