Hunger

The earliest and most significant novel by the Nobel Prize winner is a modernist masterpiece.Hunger was first released in Norway in 1890 and it has since become a terrifying and compelling literary classic. Knut Hamsun set out on an attempt to convey the unusual peculiar life of the mind the mysteries of the nerves in a famished body after becoming dissatisfied with the novels of his period and what he perceived as their stereotyped plots and empty characters. It represents an astonishing rupture with Western literary and humanistic traditions much like Dostoyevsky''s writings.
