Pan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434429520)

A blend of nature and human emotion, Pan tells the story of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, a reclusive man who retreats to the wilderness of northern Norway. His simple life is disrupted by his intense and tumultuous relationships with two women, Edvarda and Eva, leading to a tragic exploration of love, isolation, and the struggle between civilization and nature. Hamsun masterfully intertwines psychological depth with vivid natural landscapes.

Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was a Norwegian author and winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hamsun is best known for the 1890 psychological novel Hunger. Hamsun became a vocal advocate of the Nazis before the war and after the Nazi occupation of Norway, so much so that he mailed his Nobel medal to Joseph Geobbels in 1943.
