I first read this two years ago and don't remember it being anything special. I often found myself annoyed with the narrator who was starving because he couldn't afford to buy any food, but when he got money he would foolishly waste it. This time around it was a completely different experience and I really enjoyed it, the sections which previously annoyed me, I found this time to be comical and enjoyable, I didn't catch his arrogance and pride the first time around. Great book.

نهایت رنج گرسنگی برای من شاید وقتی بوده که نیم ساعت یا یکساعت زمان غذا خوردنم دیر شده باشه، یا اتفاقی بیفته و یک وعده غذا رو حذف کنم.. هیچوقت تجربه ی مشابهی (گرسنگی مفرط برای روزهای متوالی)با شخصیت اصلی داستان نداشتم و هیچوقت نمی تونستم چنین حسی رو تصور کنم؛ اما هم حسی خیلی شدیدی نسبت بهش داشتم و نه به عنوان کسی که داره این وقایع رو می‌خونه یا مشاهده می کنه ، به عنوان کسی که داره اون هارو تجربه می کنه داستان رو دنبال می کردم؛ شاید این به خاطر درون گرایی این شخصیت بود و گفت وگوهای ذهنی خیلی واضح و روشن و قابل درکی که داشت، بهترین و درست ترین تصویر از یه فرد درون گرا، مغرور، روشن فکر و گرسنه ترسیم شده بود.

من تا الان کتاب های کنوت هامسون رو با ترجمه‌ی قاسم صنعوی خونده بودم ولی اصلا پشیمون نیستم که این بار ترجمه ی احمد گلشیری رو انتخاب کردم ، واقعا خوب بود.
