Pan

Description:

A hunter escapes the pressures of modern civilization to ramble through northern Norway’s forests. Thomas Glahn’s only friend is his dog, Aesop, until he meets Edvarda, a woman that breaks through his isolated existence. Hamsun explores the wild beauty of the landscape and forces us to look into the shadowy alcoves of the human mind. Written in the form of a diary, Pan is the novel that launched Hamsun’s legendary literary career.
