'It was at the time when I was wandering around hungry in Kristiania, that strange city no one leaves before it has set its mark on them...' Hunger is the first-person story of a young man desperately trying to establish himself in the city as a writer, living in...
'When the snow water had broken crevices open in the mountain a shot or even just a sharp cry was enough to tear loose a huge slab and send it toppling.' Lieutenant Thomas Glahn spends a summer in northern Norway, where the midnight sun triggers a short but intense...
Since the death of Ibsen and Strindberg, Hamsun is undoubtedly the foremost creative writer of the Scandinavian countries. Those approaching most nearly to his position are probably Selma Lagerlöf in Sweden and Henrik Pontoppidan in Denmark. Both these, however, seem to...
Not because I am offended about anything, or very unhappy about men's evil ways; but since the forest will not come to me, I must go to it. That is all. I have not gone this time as a slave and a vagabond. I have money enough and am overfed, stupefied with success and...
Between Hunger and Growth of the Soil lies the time generally allotted to a generation, but at first glance the two books seem much farther apart. One expresses the passionate revolt of a homeless wanderer against the conventional routine of modern life. The other...

An autobiographical element is evident in practically everything that Hamsun has written. But it is particularly marked in the two volumes now published under the common title of Wanderers, as well as in the sequel named The Last Joy. These three works must be...
Quand Knut Hamsun publie Le Dernier Chapitre, il est à l’apogée de sa gloire. Trois ans auparavant, le Prix Nobel l’a placé au premier rang de la littérature internationale. Le succès, cependant, ne l’a en rien éloigné des grands thèmes qui l’obsèdent. S’il n’exalte...
L’amertume, la folie, la haine, le mépris, les dénigrements qui se donnent libre cours dans Mystères ne doivent pas nous faire oublier que Hamsun était d’abord et avant tout un amoureux de la nature, un solitaire, un poète du désespoir. Il est capable de nous faire rire...
