In 1920, Hamsun won the Nobel Prize in Literature for the novel Growth of the Soil.

It tells the story of Isak who leaves his village to build a farm and raise a family in the woodlands of rural Norway.

Knut Hamsun's Hunger, first published in 1890 and hailed as the literary beginning of the 20th century, is a masterpiece of psychologically driven fiction.

As the protagonist loses his grip on reality, Hamsun brilliantly portrays the disturbing and irrational recesses of the human mind through increasingly disjointed and urgent prose.

La crítica mundial la considera "Victoria" como el mayor exponente del talento de Knut Hamsun en su madurez, la obra en la que alcanza la perfección de la forma y en la que el análisis psicológico penetra en mayor extensión y con mayor profundidad en los actos de los protagonistas.
