Description
Published in 1894, "Pan" is a poignant and deeply symbolic novel by Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. The story follows Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, who lives alone in the woods with his dog Aesop, until he meets Edvarda, a merchant's daughter from a nearby town.
Their love is intense, but also marked by misunderstandings and tragedy. As Glahn struggles to come to terms with Edvarda's infidelity and the disconnection between their worlds, he begins to question his place in society. This powerful exploration of unrequited love and its consequences has endured as a moving tale of one man's tragic experiences.
This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, following the translation of W. W. Worster. With its poetic prose and thought-provoking themes, "Pan" remains a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction and psychological insight.
