Contributor(s):Author: Knut HamsunTranslator: W. W. WorsterOne of Knut Hamsuns most famous works, Pan is the story of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, an ex-military man who lives alone in the woods with his faithful dog Aesop. Glahns life changes when he meets Edvarda, a merchants daughter, whom he quickly falls in love with. She, however, is not entirely faithful to him, which affects him profoundly. Pan is a fascinating study in the psychological impact of unrequited love and helped to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for Hamsun.
