Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Pan" by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in 1894. Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, a solitary hunter living in a forest hut, falls into a passionate but misunderstood romance with Edvarda, a merchant's daughter from a nearby town. As the seasons shift from spring to autumn, their incompatible worlds—nature versus culture—collide, leading Glahn through a series of tragedies. The novel explores the tensions between isolation and society, and the devastating consequences of love between two people who cannot truly understand each other.
