First Edition
Condition: Very Good to Near Fine. First English Edition. First English language translation of Hunger, or Sult, by Knut Hamsun. Translated by Mary Chavelita Dunne under the pseudonym of George Edgerton. In publisher's original grey cloth, stamped in black on front and spine, with illustration of front. A few stains to the cloth (my opinion: they are such perfect splatters, as to add to the impression the cover gives the story). Spine slightly darkened with minor chipping to head and tail. Solid and tightly bound. Tape ghosts on endpapers. Top edge trimmed, long and lower edges deckled. The interior is lightly toned, with some infrequent spotting. All is solid and legible. Autobiographical in origin, considered one of the first modernist novels, Hunger tells the story of a destitute writer in Oslo on a constant search for nourishment. Considered a pillar of 20th century literature for its influences on Ernest Hemingway, Kafka, Henry Miller, Thomas Mann and others. Pages:(10) 312 (15 ads) (1) Dimensions:7¾ x 5¼ x 1¼ .
Wrappers. Condition: Very good. First Edition. 1st edition in English of the Nobel Laureate's masterpiece. Original wrappers, small nick to upper back cover, some handling wear, a few creases, else very good, complete, and unrepaired. Copies in cloth are out there, those in wrappers are not (1 copy in wrappers listed in RBH's auction records in the last 85 years and that sale was 29 years ago). First published (1890) in Norwegian as Sult and first translated into English here by Mary Dunne under the pseudonym George Edgerton. Hunger is an autobiographical novel about a destitute writer living in Oslo on a constant search for nourishment, a prototype for later novels of alienation, poverty, and loneliness. It's a descendant of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866), and is remarkable for its psychological maturity, and focus on the main character's sanity while highlighting a series of irrational and nervous acts of self-destruction. The book is among the foundations of modern, literature, influencing 2 generations of authors but most easily noticed in the works of Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, Henry Miller, Herman Hesse, and Ernest Hemingway.
