Descriere

First published in 1894, Knut Hamsun's PAN recounts Thomas Glahn's retrospective narrative of his life and adventures in the Norwegian woods. PAN provides a lyrical, yet disturbing, analysis of love and the recesses of the psyche. This superb new translation restores the power and virtuosity of Hamsun's original and includes an informative Introduction.

Recenzii

Given the rarity of non-British/American novels in the main canon, it is a good idea for this work to be assigned in a world literature class. And a copy of it should also be available in all types of libraries to make it accessible to the different types of readers and scholars who might be interested in accessing it.
