City of Hunger captures a writer’s cold nights and the thin line between ambition and despair.

In this stark, intimate study, a solitary narrator moves through a city that never fully warms. The text follows a writer wrestling with a hard task: finishing an essay while the world outside keeps turning, and hunger—both literal and metaphorical—presses in from every doorway.

A night of wandering streets, lamplight, and the pull of a deadline
Inner monologue that weighs ambition against integrity
Vivid glimpses of urban life and the private drama of a lone writer
Tense press of time, weather, and the cold that seeps into thought

Ideal for readers of gritty, character-driven realism and fiction that centers on creative struggle.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Ten years ago a little book on Intellectual Life in the America of To-day appeared in Norway. The intense individuality of its (it must be admitted often wrong-headed) point of view aroused interest and curiosity as to its author. It was followed shortly by his first novel Suit (H unger ). It made a great sensation; was as the flash of some strange meteor, holding perhaps a menace to social life, across the firmament. It met with much adverse criticism ;indeed, it demanded some courage in those days to declare oneself an admirer of that dreadful Hamsun !T here was something mysterious, challenging something alike magnetic and repellent, in the mans personality, as in his work ;something that invoked opposition. He was an unknown quantity in the society and literature of his country.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this work, the author presents a harrowing portrait of a starving artist struggling to survive in a society indifferent to his plight. Set in the bleak, unforgiving city of Christiania, the novel explores themes of poverty, hunger, and the corrosive effects of desperation. Through the eyes of the unnamed protagonist, the author exposes the dehumanizing realities of extreme hardship, as the protagonist's physical and mental health deteriorate in tandem with his dwindling resources. As the novel progresses, the increasingly desperate protagonist engages in a series of bizarre and unsettling encounters, which serve as a metaphor for his own disintegrating state of mind. This book is a powerful and uncompromising examination of the human condition, offering a unique perspective on the lengths to which individuals will go in order to survive. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781440077159_0
