Pan
Knut Hamsun
Read by Kathrine Engan
Pan tells the story Lieutenant Glahn and his summer in a forest north in Norway. He lives in a hut with his dog Aesop and they spend their days to hunting and fishing. In poetic language, Hamsun paints troubled souls in this gem of a book.The text is devoted to the nature in Nordland as well as the people Glahn meets there, as they deal with love, jealousy, and power struggles. We meet two (equally unreliable) narrators, Lieutenant Glahn in the book itself and a hunting companion in the epilogue, consisting of the last five chapters. - Summary by kathrinee (4 hr 11 min)

Reviews
Great book; great reading.

Great book; great reading. Can't fault it, I 'm sure it helps to have a translation read by someone who knows the language the book was written in. I read this book, after finding it at random in a library about 40 years ago.I had forgotten how much it had affected me then. It still affects me now, but in a different way, evoking memories and ghosts and dreams.
fab narration.
