Card Covers. First Edition in Icelandic. pp. 203, [1]. Small octavo (5" x 7.5"). Publisher's original illustrated card covers featuring striking cover art and typography, designed by the renowned Icelandic artist and illustrator Halldór Pétursson (known perhaps most notably for his designs of all Icelandic banknotes issued between 1960 and 1981 and as the founder of the Icelandic Graphic Design Association). Edges untrimmed. Light creases to the spine, covers moderately toned with the front showing a few minor spots, and chips along the margins with text-block uniformly without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages and a firm, sound binding. Overall, very good. A rare offering of the first Icelandic translation of Hamsun's magnum opus 'Sult' (or Hunger). An essential for the Hamsun completist. References: Numerous copies located in Icelandic repositories via Leitir. See also OCLC #4520129 which records only seven institutional holdings at the time of cataloguing. No copies located in KVK. Originally published in Norwegian in 1890 as Sult, it immediately catapulted Hamsun to literary acclaim, and would be universally heralded as the opening salvo of twentieth-century modernism and the genesis of the modern psychological novel. A radical departure from the prevailing social realism of the nineteenth century Hunger pioneered a stream-of-consciousness narrative style which plunged the reader directly into the frantic, interior of its starving, alienated protagonist as he wanders about the streets of Kristiania (Oslo). It would heavily influence a generation of writers including Franz Kafka, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, and Ernest Hemingway, among others.
