Knut Hamsun: PAN

This novel chronicles the encounters of Lt. Thomas Glahn, a hunter and former military man, with Edwarda and other minor characters during his self-exile in a forest. Most of the narrative is centered on his love affair with Edwarda, who he loses in the end. 

The main part of the narrative is told on the point of view of Glahn while the epilogue, that part in which he turns his back from his usual "almost-hermit" world, is told on on the point of view of another person, the one who killed him.

Reading it, I could sense a lot of symbolism, some I discerned, partly and wholly, some I didn't. But my overall reading experience was rewarding.

Rating: 4.0/5.0
