"Hunger: Book One" by Knut Hamsun is a psychological novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the struggles of an unnamed protagonist living in Kristiania (now Oslo) who is grappling with extreme poverty and hunger while striving for artistic success. The narrative delves into his inner thoughts as he navigates the challenges of existence, social isolation, and the human condition. At the start of the story, the protagonist awakes in his sparsely furnished room and reflects on his dire financial situation, marked by a sense of hopelessness and despair. As he contemplates his circumstances, he experiences physical hunger and mental agitation, revealing his frail state. He ventures out into the city, observing the vibrant life around him yet feeling disconnected and tormented by the thought of his own unfortunate state. The opening presents a character embroiled in a passionate internal struggle, setting the stage for a profound exploration of human experience against the backdrop of societal indifference.
