How to read Hunger by Knut Hamsun (10 Tips) 

Your sincerity propelled me to comment. In answer to the question you ask at the end. What made me poor was the hunger to move, to travel, to discover and learn. So yes, I have been homeless and hungry on several continents. If one manages to survive this, it is one of the best educations it is possible to have.

I rarely comment and just lurk, lol- but I just want to tell you that your channel is such a rare gem! Your video and audio production is amazing quality, your visual background is comforting and calming. I appreciate that you really get to the meat of the content right away, which sometimes doesn’t happen with other booktubers. The way you verbally express your thoughts about a book is so greatly articulated, especially your past long form videos when you delved into colonialism in literature- which is so fascinating to hear. I’d love to hear more about topics you are currently studying. Keep doing what your doing, I’m so impressed by your channel. :)

really an underrated author. currently reading robert bly's translation, the only one found in my nearby library. Thanks for your tips.

I first read Hunger because Henry Miller spoke highly of it. I forget exactly what he said but the jist of it is that Hamsun broke the hold that respectability had on writing at the time it was written. I think this is true. The best way i can put it that Hamsun wrote a "naked" book.

I read this novel last year and I loved it. There are a lot of scenes I still think about many months after reading it; it also has a similar feverish climate to Crime and Punishment. This writer has a few books that are quite good. I read a short one "Pan" you may want to look into.

I've read this novel not too long ago. I also read more recently 'Pan' by Hamsun, which is also really good. I feel I want to read all his novels.

Nice book. Not very long, with a clean prose and sensible and well written scenes. A classic of scandinavian literature.

After having read the book twice, I did not find it fast paced. It seems to me a unique work, amazing, engaging, sometimes difficult to read. I loved it.

8:55 i bought this book in the beginning of one autumn when i was depriving myself of food and wanted to read about someone experiencing hunger. its so ironic because in the end i couldn't get through much of the book because my brain fog was so bad

I'm Norwegian, and I have to admit I've never read this novel. Much of that is for a reason. I've always felt that a book is supposes to be a door, or a form of escapism if you will, and a book centered around a Norwegian artiststic man who is too stubborn to accept help, hits a bit too close to home.

Didn't read the book yet and from what you saying i decided to like and comment felt like you The Hunger 😂

Allô, c'est un auteur que je connaissais pas, merci pour la découverte.

Your getting better and better at this... do you script this all out or freehand a bit ?

Hey liebe Maria, Sarah hier, Wiebe's Tochter. Hast du noch das schöne Video, das du von deiner und Wiebe's Reise im Camper gemacht hattest? Liebe Grüße

I kind of disagree a little when you said that "our protagonist was not very religious". I think the exact opposite, that is he is very religious, since he is talking to God quite often and also, in his mind, he is dealing with dark forces...He also often asks God why He is allowing these things to happen to him (meaning his problems, his drawbacks etc)! I liked this book very much and I believe it makes you a better person, since our protagonist shows us his fight to remain dignified and honest, despite his hunger and poverty. Thanks for your tips 🎉

Thank you, again, for a so good video. You have made me discover another important European writer that is almost unknown in my country. He is barely translated into Spanish, unfortunately, so I will need to read him in French or English. I have read his biography in Wikipedia and he seems to have lived a dangerous life (ideologically speaking, at least). Also, are you going to learn Norwegian? Please, tell us about your experience of the language and which Norwegian are you going to learn! In cse you it is useful for you, i let you here a booktag on Norwegian writers done by a Spanish bookstagrammer that I recommend you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R3xC7j8vtQs.html&si=ae-ABNuL2kZIsTrH Happy readings!

I'd rather have a billion dollar Facebook advertising/medical experimenting fortune. The artistic world is rigged.

so…we simply ignore that Hamsun was a nazi?
