Pan

Pan (1894) by Knut Hamsun who won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature, is a multi-layered psychological masterpiece of human perversity and pride in the face of love and sensual attraction. Romantically awkward hunter, fisherman and nature-lover Lieutenant Thomas Glahn lives in a cabin away from society -- alone, except for his dog and occasional interactions with the locals including the young and audacious Edwina, a free spirit who searches for a prince to conquer her, and has not yet met her match. The two commence a peculiar hot and cold relationship that evolves into a tragic psychological standoff. A classic literary probing of quirks and vulnerabilities of the psyche, set against the exquisite natural background of Norway.Hamsun, Knut is the author of 'Pan', published 2007 under ISBN 9781934169681 and ISBN 1934169684.
