Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1894, "Pan" is one of Norwegian author and Nobel prize-winning Knut Hamsun's most famous works. It is the story of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, an ex-military man who lives alone in a hut in the woods with his faithful dog Aesop. Glahn's life changes when he meets Edvarda, a merchant's daughter from a nearby town, with whom he quickly falls in love. While they feel strongly for each other, they do not truly understand the other's perspective and tragedy soon befalls the lovers. Edvarda is not entirely faithful to Glahn and he is profoundly affected by her betrayal and the strange habits of the city people he does not feel connected to. Deeply symbolic and emotionally sensitive, "Pan" is a fascinating study in the psychological impact of unrequited love and helped cement Hamsun's reputation as a gifted author. Cited as one of the reasons for awarding him the Nobel Prize in Literature, "Pan" was a critical success and often lauded for its powerful and poetic prose. Hamsun's story endures as a powerful and moving story of one man's tragic experiences with love and his ultimate rejection of society in favor of the beauty of the natural world. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of W. W. Worster.
Autorenporträt
Knut Hamsun, a towering figure in Norwegian literature, is celebrated for his profound insights into the human condition and the complexities of rural life, as exemplified in his masterpiece "Growth of the Soil." With an unparalleled ability to capture the essence of the Norwegian landscape and the rhythms of rural existence, Hamsun crafts a narrative that transcends mere storytelling to become a poignant exploration of human nature and society. In "Growth of the Soil," Hamsun traces the life of Isak, a pioneering farmer, as he grapples with the challenges of taming the wilderness and building a life from the soil. Through vivid prose and richly drawn characters, Hamsun illuminates the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world, offering profound insights into the bonds that tie us to the land and to each other. Hamsun's novel is more than a tale of agrarian life; it is a meditation on the timeless themes of identity, community, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Through his masterful storytelling, Hamsun invites readers to contemplate the fundamental aspects of human existence and the enduring power of the land to shape our lives and our destinies.
