Pan (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Knut Hamsun

Overview

Hamsun builds his story through the papers of his main character, Lieutenant Thomas Glahn. A complex man, Glahn has rejected society and turned to nature, delving into the recesses of his own psyche. The Lieutenant recounts his relationship with Edvara, who, by rejecting him, utterly destroys him. Hamsun’s Pan is as beautiful as it is disturbing.

About the Author

Knut Hamsun (1859-1952), a Norwegian novelist, was the author of Growth of the Soil and Hunger. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1920. A controversial figure, Hamsun’s public advocacy of the Nazi party complicated many readers’ reaction to the literature for which he was known and loved.
