About this listen

Explore the human psyche's extremes in Knut Hamsun's renowned novel, "Hunger." Set in 19th-century Oslo, this modernist masterpiece follows a starving artist's struggle for survival and self-expression. The novel intricately portrays the protagonist's inner turmoil, balancing between sanity and madness, as he wanders through the city's streets, battling hunger and pursuing his artistic vision.

Hamsun's sharp, introspective writing vividly captures the ebb and flow of the narrator's mental state, making "Hunger" a profound exploration of isolation, existential angst, and human resilience. This influential work marked a significant shift in literary narrative, introducing psychological depth that paved the way for future writers.

"Hunger" is an unforgettable journey into the depths of human nature and a testament to the indomitable human spirit. It remains a vital story for understanding the complexities of artistic pursuit and human condition.
