Knut Hamsun 
Pan 

One of Knut Hamsun’s 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. Glahn’s life changes when he meets Edvarda, a merchant’s 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.
