This is the story of Isak, a worker of the land, with its roots in
man's deepest myths about the struggle to cultivate the land and
make it fertile. Sweeping and panoramic, the story moves at the
pace of the passing seasons and with the growth of the crops on
which the characters' lives depend. Hamsun's themes of individual
freedom, and the fundamental human need to reconcile man with the
natural world, speak even more resonantly than when the novel was
first published.

First published in Norwegian in 1894, Pan tells the story of
Lieutenant Thomas Glahn's life and adventures in a remote township
in northern Norway, a scene described by Richard Eccles in his
poignant introduction as 'that remote, exotic, romantic, difficult
landscape of extreme and epic beauty at the top of the world...'
This stunning new edition restores translator W. Worster's powerful
recreation of Hamsun's enigmatic original and includes an
informative introduction and notes by Richard Eccles. 'The whole
modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from
Hamsun.'Isaac Bashevis Singer

Native languages and ways of living, including the arts of sea
kayaking and dog sledding, fascinated Knud Rasmussen, himself of
Inuit and Danish descent. Rasmussen devoted much of his life to
ethnological and cultural studies throughout Arctic North America.
Establishing a base station in Thule, Greenland, in 1910, he
visited as many Inuit peoples as he could, taking meticulous notes
and making sketches, collecting artifacts and compiling hundreds of
Native legends and songs. The tales are grounded in the Inuit
belief system, itself defined by superstition and transformation.
Thanks to his own mixed heritage, Rasmussen understood Inuit
stories at a deeper level than did most observers, and documented
many priceless legends that the West might have otherwise not have
noticed.
From his Thule station, Rasmussen led many ambitious Arctic
expeditions. His famous "Great Sledge Journey" resulted in this
priceless and beloved collection and descriptions of Inuit
folktales, songs, and poetry, now finally back in print in English.
