Description

Set against the dramatic backdrop of northern Norway, Pan is a gripping tale of love, obsession, and the unbridled power of nature. When the snow melts, the landscape is transformed, and so too is the life of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, who finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Edvarda, daughter of a local trader.

Their intense and all-consuming relationship is marked by a series of fraught encounters, culminating in violent actions with unforeseen consequences. This haunting novel, first published in 1894, is a masterful exploration of the human psyche, infused with a unique style that has captivated readers for generations.

Restored to its original virtuosity by a new translation, Pan is a testament to the enduring power of Knut Hamsun's writing. With its illuminating introduction and explanatory notes, this edition provides a wealth of insight into the author's work, making it an essential read for anyone interested in literary fiction.
