Глад / Виктория
Два прочути романа на един от най-големите представители на литературата на Скандинавския север, на Европа, а и на света – норвежеца Кнут Хамсун (1859-1952), които представят творчеството му откъм неговите най-силни страни. „Глад“ (1890) е не само извънредно успешен дебют на своя млад автор, но и едно от първите произведения на европейската литература, в което се въвежда не-герой, без име/ без шанс и дори без инстинкт за оцеляване, чието състояние на отчужденост дори от самия себе си е метафоричен израз на изолацията на модерния индивид – социална, комуникативна, личностна. „Виктория“ (1898) е лирична повест, посветена на любовта и на страданието като синоним на копнежа по нея, на светлината, с която нейният незагасващ пламък озарява живота.

This edition combines Hamsun's breakthrough novel Hunger (1890) and his short novel Victoria (1898).
Hunger is an autobiographical novel to some extend and tells about the difficult months a young writer spends in Kristiania (the name of Oslo during the period 1877-1925). It is told in the first person and is the perfect example of the psychological realism which Hamsun advocates.
It is a very influential novel and one can clearly see traces of Hamsun's vandrer (no. 'wanderer', a recurring type of character in Hamsun's works) in twentieth century authors like Hesse, Salinger, Kafka and Bukowski.
Victoria is a love story, sometimes naïve and clichéd, but still moving.
I'd give Hunger 4.5/5 and Victoria 3.5/5, so my overall rating is 4/5.

Северняшка школа на писане. Напомня на Херман Хесе- очевидно имам нужда от почивка от подобен тип автори.
