'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 with the 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 suspicions
and 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 Hamsun's early works, in particular a rejection of psychological
stereotypes and a style infused by what Hamsun called a 'poetry of
the nerves'. Terence Cave's new translation restores the power and
virtuosity of Hamsun's original and includes an illuminating
introduction and explanatory notes. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
