Hunger

Nineteenth-century Kristiania is an unforgiving place, and work is thin on the ground. Roaming the streets of Norway`s capital, a penniless young writer searches for inspiration whilst trying desperately to make ends meet. Driven to extraordinary lengths, sleeping under the stars with his stomach growling, the writer`s behaviour becomes increasingly irrational and his world spirals into chaos. Hunger was Knut Hamsun`s first novel and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. A disturbing and darkly humorous masterpiece of existential fiction, Hunger anticipated and influenced some of the twentieth century`s most acclaimed writers including Camus, Kafka and Fante.
