Hambre

Knut Hamsun's Hunger (1890) is possibly the most influential Norwegian novel in history. A true classic of modern literature and a precursor to the psychologically focused fiction of Franz Kafka, Albert Camus and José Saramago. Now comic book artist Martin Ernstsen has turned it into a graphic novel with the potential to become a great classic like the original novel, according to the Dagbladet newspaper. Building on Hamsun's belief that literature should be about the mysterious workings of the human mind, Hunger led the way to a new kind of novel.
