"Sult" by Knut Hamsun is a novel published in 1890. Set in late 19th-century Kristiania, it follows an unnamed starving young man as he wanders the city streets, his mental and physical state deteriorating. Despite his intellectual pretensions and self-imposed code of honor, he descends into delusionary existence, scrounging for food while struggling to maintain respectability. The novel explores the irrationality of the human mind through detailed psychological observation, marking a pioneering
work of modern literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
