Éhség : regény by Knut Hamsun
"Éhség: regény" by Knut Hamsun is a novel published in 1890. Set in late 19th-century Kristiania, it follows a starving young man whose grip on reality deteriorates as he wanders the city streets. Unable to pursue a conventional career and driven by self-destructive pride, he experiences mental and physical decay while clinging to respectability. Through a series of encounters, the novel explores the irrationality of the human mind, blending psychological depth with
dark humor as the protagonist descends into a delusionary existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
