"The Great Hunger" by Johan Bojer is a story following young boys in a Norwegian fishing village who dream of adventure and decide to face the sea, which shapes their paths in surprising ways. We meet Peer Troen and Martin Bruvold, who lead their friends on a deep-sea fishing adventure. The boys capture a big Greenland shark, which creates a scene of both excitement and difficulty. The story balances the humor and courage of youth against the tough realities of life, hinting the challenges they will face as they grow.
