Pan by Knut Hamsun Paperback Book

Description: Pan by Knut Hamsun, Tore Rem Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description One of Knut Hamsuns most famous works, it tells the story of Thomas Glahn, a lone hunter accompanied only by his faithful dog, Aesop. Publisher Description When the snow water had broken crevices open in the mountain a shot or even just a sharp cry was enough to tear loose a huge slab and send it toppling. Lieutenant Thomas Glahn spends a summer in northern Norway, where the midnight sun triggers a short but intense release of energies. Living out of a rudimentary hut on the edge of the forest, he pursues a solitary existence, hunting, fishing, and engaging intermittently withthe inhabitants of the nearby coastal village. Among these is Edvarda, daughter of the wealthy local trader Herr Mack. Their mutual attraction rapidly develops into an erotic fascination shot through with suspicionsand jealousies; a series of fraught encounters culminates in violent actions with unforeseen consequences. First published in 1894, Pan was an immediate success and remains a classic of Norwegian literature. It embodies many of the distinctive features of Hamsuns early works, in particular a rejection of psychological stereotypes and a style infused by what Hamsun called a poetry of the nerves. Terence Caves new translation restores the power and virtuosityof Hamsuns original and includes an illuminating introduction and explanatory notes.
