Revised by Richard Tonsing. "Sult" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of poverty and existential struggle, centering around an unnamed protagonist who is navigating life in Kristiania (now Oslo) while grappling with starvation and the search for recognition as a writer. This work is notable for its psychological depth and evocative prose, shedding light on the inner turmoil and societal disconnection experienced by the main character. The opening of "Sult" introduces the reader to the protagonist, who awakens in a cramped and shabby room, reflecting on his dire circumstances. As he lies on his bed, he contemplates his recent hardships, including losing possessions and struggling to find work or make a living as a writer. His thoughts reveal a blend of despair and fleeting moments of hope, as he decides to venture into the city. The narrative captures fragments of his experiences—his interactions with other people and observations of the bustling life around him, all while facing the gnawing reality of hunger. This setting establishes the tone for the novel while inviting readers into the mind of a deeply troubled individual, as he oscillates between moments of clarity and bouts of madness.
