- Hunger audiobook
by Knut Hamsun (1859-1952).
Translated by George Egerton
Hunger (Norwegian: Sult) is a novel by the Norwegian author and Nobel Prize winner Knut Hamsun and was published in its final form in 1890. The novel has been hailed as the literary opening of the 20th century and an outstanding example of modern, psychology-driven literature. It hails the irrationality of the human mind in an intriguing and sometimes humorous novel. Written after Hamsun's return from an ill-fated tour of America, Hunger is loosely based on the author's own impoverished life before his breakthrough in 1890. Set in late 19th century Kristiania, the novel recounts the adventures of a starving young man whose sense of reality is giving way to a delusionary existence on the darker side of a modern metropolis. While he vainly tries to maintain an outer shell of respectability, his mental and physical decay are recounted in detail. His ordeal, enhanced by his inability or unwillingness to pursue a professional career, which he deems unfit for someone of his abilities, is pictured in a series of encounters which Hamsun himself described as 'a series of analyses.' In many ways, the protagonist of the novel displays traits reminiscent of Raskolnikov, whose creator, Fyodor Dostoevsky, was one of Hamsun's main influences. The influence of naturalist authors such as Emile Zola is apparent in the novel, as is his rejection of the realist tradition.(Introduction by Wikipedia)
Dear Mr. Greg W.,
I do not know if you ever read this message. But I need to say this. Your voice, in my mind, will always be associated with Knut Hamsun. I finished listening to the Growth of the Soil on the 2019 new Year (during my darkest hours), and I finished the Hunger on January the 13th, three days after my grandmother passed away. But your voice always guides me through these dark hours, and I want to say thank you. I want to live one more day to hear your voice and the next chapter in Knut Hamsun.
this and notes from the underground by dostovjevskij are my absolute favorites.
factotum by bukowski is good too.
we might be good friends
Wonderful, Very Original and quality Writing.. It Takes me to an all too familiar place, Absolutely one of the best in a long time!
Thanks so much for the post
This book is something else. Thank you for providing us with such a beatiful material. Listened to this while playing minecraft.
Never thought about playing a game while listening to an audiobook.. I don’t really play games, but I can definitely think of a couple I could do this with.. thanks for the idea tho 🤟🏻

God, this book is making me hungry.
Kinda weak that some of the more grotesque parts of the book have been removed from this audiobook. The scene where he forces himself on Ylajali and the scene where the landlord is watching his wife have sex with a sailor in front of the old man. They are just skipped right over in the reading here.
I haven't read the actual book with those scenes in it but judging from the type of scenes they cut, I'm glad they did.
Thank you for sharing this story!
I see the thought police have forced Pacino to pull out of a play written by this guy
Thanks for posting this and great reading. I just started this one.
This sounds like such a literal translation of every word. I'm pretty sure Knut didn't sound so stiff in his native language.

Henry Miler’s “The Books of My Life” for me
I always pronounce Knut Nut--he was a little bit that way. Read any biography.
I felt it...

This is a rough book for me, his other book on the working of the earth by man was more to my liking.

Marija Dipset modernism, requires somewhat of a high IQ to understand
@@markusd8329 Wow! Don't know what your IQ is but sure know you got an A+ in the 'how to be a snob' seminar! Some people at least offer thoughts or insights, others appear to be lost up in their own a*s......
my man, you either have no soul, or you have been living with an silver spoon in your mouth

He was knot hansome ha ha ha
this guy has amazing politics
This is just too damn annoying! Just beg and steal food. How could anyone be so conceited to allow themselves to starve before asking for food? Just on and on about being so hungry but being too ashamed to do anything about it. Just ask every person you pass. Ask for bread and employment at every shop!
Many die before they beg for food like a dirty dog
@Todd Foret what do you do when the landowners make that illegal more and more as they do already in america and have done forever?
you really did not get this book. Did you? And, I assume you believe Growth the Soil was just about a farmer. right????
I agree. The narrator became tiresome after a while.
His performance is so flat in the first 5 minutes.
