Pan

Pan by Knut Hamsun who won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature, is a multi-layered psychological masterpiece of human perversity & pride in the face of love & sensual attraction. Romantically awkward hunter, fisherman & nature-lover Lieutenant Thomas Glahn lives in a cabin away from society-- alone, except for his dog & occasional interactions with the locals including the young & audacious Edwina, a free spirit who searches for a prince to conquer her, & has not yet met her match. The two commence a peculiar hot & cold relationship that evolves into a tragic psychological standoff. A classic literary probing of quirks & vulnerabilities of the psyche, set against an exquisite Norwegian natural background.
