About this book
The Great Hunger is by Johan Bojer, translated from the Norwegian by W. J. Alexander Worster and C. Archer. The contents list is divided into Book I, Book II and Book III, each with numbered chapters. Book I, Chapter I speaks of a good northwester that roars in through the long winter evenings, driving the spindrift before it between the rocky walls of the fjord.
The text says that Peer had never till then rightly understood that he was a stranger here, for all that he called the old couple father and mother. The text raises the question of who was to pay for the boy now. The text has Peer sitting at the hotel with a note-book, working the thing out: he had bought Loreng, and his father-in-law had let him have the place, lands and woods and all, for the ridiculous price he had paid himself.
