Contact seller4-star sellerFirst edition. 8vo. [4], 333, [1] pp. Contemporary half sheep and marbled boards; binding rubbed, early ownership signature to title-page, toned First edition of this highly influential semi-autobiographical novel about a humiliated and impoverished writer in Oslo. A precursor to so much of the literature of alienation and consc…iousness of the 20th century. In his introduction to a 1967 edition of Hunger Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote "The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun." Hamsun won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920.

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 betwe…en 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.

(København, 1888). Pænt senere (ca. 1920) halvlæderbind med forgyldt titeletiket på forperm (Anker Kyster). Læder slidt ved kanter og øvre kapitæl. Indvendig frisk. Med Max Lesters ex libris på indersiden af forpermen og Indklæbet 10 liner langt håndskrevet kort fra Hamsun til Max Lester på verso af forreste friblad, dateret "La…rvik, 12/6. 18." Nice later (ca. 1920) half calf with gilt title-label to front board (Anker Kyster). Leather worn at edges and upper capital. Internally fresh. With Max Lester's ex libris to inside of front board and verso of front free end-paper with a visiting card from Knut Hamsun, with a 10 lines long handwritten note for Max Lester, dated "Larvik, 12/6. 18.". Et spektakulært eksemplar af originaltrykket af den først publicerede del af en af den moderne litteraturs hovedværker, Hamsuns "Sult", hvori trykkes for første gang de berømte linier "Det var i den Tid, da jeg gik omkring og sulted i Kristiania?, indledningen til den roman, der gjorde Hamsun berømt og til det værk, der indvarslede en ny litterær epoke i Europa. Publikationen af Sult-fragmentet indvarsler ikke alene et vendepunkt i Hamsuns liv og karriere, det indvarsler også et vendepunkt i europæisk litteratur. Dette banebrydende uddrag af tidsskriftet ?Ny Jord?, fra andet bind, 1888, har tilhørt Max Lester (1866-1956), som på verso af fribladet har indklæbet et håndskrevet kort fra Hamsun, som han har modtaget sammen med (formentlig i retur) denne første trykte del af ?Sult? På kortet har Hamsun i mest vidunderlig, karakteristisk stil skrevet ?Hr. Max Lester,/ dette maa være noget som for 30/ Aar siden stod i Tidsskriftet ?Ny Jord? - / Redaktør Carl Behrens vil kunne si Dem/ Aargang og Nummer./ Forøvrig maa De være Samler for at/ kunne gjemme paa slikt noget, jeg ville brænde/ det levende op./ Med Tak for Deres venlige Hilsen/ Deres ærbødige/ Knut Hamsun/ Larvik, 12/6. 18.? "Sult" kom først i bogform to år senere, i 1890, og det er med publikationen af denne del i Ny Jord, at Hamsuns ry som en forfatter i verdensklasse bliver slået fast og at hans dage som sultende endegyldigt ophører. "Knut Hamsuns debutroman fra 1890 er en af de bøger, der har sat skel. Den har virket med til at forme et nyt menneskesyn og en ny skrivemåde. Hamsun hentede stoffet fra sine egne trængselsår, da han uden slægt og venner gik arbejdsløs i Kristiania og kæmpede mod skuffelser, nederlag og sult." (Johannes V. Jensen). Som 27-årig i 1886 blev Hamsun for anden gang reddet fra en sultende tilværelse og sendt til Amerika, denne gang til Chicago, hvor han bl.a. arbejdede som sporvognskonduktør. Da han blev fyret fra dette job og vennerne havde skillinget sammen til en billet hjem, tog Hamsun i forsommeren 1888 tilbage mod Norden, -men han stod ikke af i Kristiania, han tog skibet videre til København. Da han stod og så skibet sejle fra Kristiania, tænkte han på sine nederlag i denne by, og en af den nyere litteraturs vigtigste sætninger indfandt sig i hans hoved: "Det var i den tid, da jeg gik rundt og sultede i Kristiania", -kimen til et af det 20. århundredes litterære hovedværker var lagt, og Hamsun satte sig med det samme på den nærmeste skibskiste og begyndte at skrive. Påvirket af Nietzsche og Dostojevski sad Hamsun i sit loftsværelse på Nørrebro og arbejdede døgnet rundt på sit første mesterværk. Efteråret 1888 stod den første del af monumentalromanen "Sult" færdig, men da Hamsun ikke turde risikere en afvisning fra Danmarks førende kulturperson, Georg Brandes, opsøgte han dennes bror, Edvard, som var chefredaktør på "Politiken". Edvard Brandes fik således æren af at være den første, der anerkendte Hamsuns talent. Til den stærkt forhutlede forfatter sagde han som den første: "Der venter Dem en meget stor Fremtid!" og om det manuskript, han præsenterede ham for: "det var ikke bare talentfuldt som så meget andet, det var mere, noget, der rystede mig." Edvard Brandes var ikke i tvivl om, at dette manuskript skulle trykkes, men da det var for langt til at stå i ".
