According to Wikipedia: "Knut Hamsun (August 4, 1859 – February 19, 1952) was a a Norwegian author. He was praised by King Haakon VII of Norway as Norway's soul.[1] In 1920, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for the epic Growth of the Soil. He insisted that the main object of modern literature should be the intricacies of the human mind, that writers should describe the "whisper of blood, and the pleading of bone marrow".[citation needed] Hamsun's literary debut, and perhaps the work for which he is most known, was the 1890 psychological novel Hunger."
