Sult

Book • 1890
Knut Hamsun's 'Sult' portrays the life of an unnamed, starving writer in late 19th-century Oslo (then Christiania).

The novel vividly depicts the protagonist's physical and mental deterioration as he struggles with hunger and poverty.

His pride and refusal to accept help lead to increasingly desperate and irrational behavior.

The book explores themes of alienation, the individual's struggle against society, and the psychological effects of extreme deprivation.

Hamsun's stream-of-consciousness style immerses the reader in the protagonist's chaotic and fragmented thoughts.

'Sult' is a seminal work of modernist literature, renowned for its raw and unflinching portrayal of human suffering.
