Transcriber’s note

Spelling. In this first edition of “Sult”, old spelling rules were applied which look quite different from modern written Norwegian (“bokmål”). In addition, the letters Å and å where set as Aa and aa, respectively. Since many other Norwegian books printed at this time used Å and å and in order to improve readability, all Aa and aa have been converted to Å and å. Otherwise, the original spelling was not changed.

Spaced-out text. Text that was s p a c e d - o u t in the original text has been changed to use italics.
