Pán : $b Regény

by Knut Hamsun

"Pán : Regény" by Knut Hamsun is a novel published in 1894. Lieutenant Glahn retreats to a remote hunting cabin in northern Norway, living alone with his dog in the wilderness. His summer unfolds through passionate yet turbulent relationships with three young women, particularly the difficult Edvarda, daughter of a wealthy merchant. The story weaves between Glahn's pantheistic nature observations and his conflicting emotions toward civilization and human connection. An epilogue reveals Glahn's fate in India, closing this tale of isolation, longing, and inner turmoil.
