Summary/Abstract: Redefining the concept of the novel not only in Norwegian literature but also in world literature, Knut Hamsun - whose literary mastery is celebrated internationally in 2009 on his 150 anniversary – is a forerunner of the stream of consciousness technique with his novel Hunger. This article presents a brief description of the main elements connecting this novel to Hamsun’s theoretical views on literature, but also to his later literary work, with accent on the model of the wanderer.
