Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_(Hamsun_novel)
"Hunger" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the internal struggles and existential crises of a young writer grappling with poverty and hunger while wandering the streets of Kristiania (modern-day Oslo). It provides a deeply introspective look into the psyche of the protagonist, whose desperation and longing for artistic fulfillment illustrate the broader themes of alienation and the human condition. The opening of the novel introduces the unnamed protagonist as he reflects on his dire situation, experiencing both physical hunger and an emotional void. He recounts sleepless nights in a cramped attic room, cluttered with signs of his waning possessions and deteriorating circumstances, while observing the world outside his window. As he ventures into the city, he oscillates between moments of despair and fleeting hope, feeling detached from society yet inexplicably drawn to the life pulsing around him. His interactions with others, marked by a blend of compassion and irritation, begin to reveal the impact of his struggles on his mental state, setting the tone for a narrative that delves deep into the complexities of survival and creativity amid hardship.
