Probably Hamsun's finest work. Besides being a captivating story of lonelyness and unrequited love, Pan is also the closest you can get to the northen norwegian wilderness without actually going there yourself. The epilogue is a stroke of genious!

Overview
Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was a Norwegian author and winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hamsun is best known for the 1890 psychological novel Hunger. Hamsun became a vocal advocate of the Nazis before the war and after the Nazi occupation of Norway, so much so that he mailed his Nobel medal to Joseph Geobbels in 1943."The work contains a harmony found only in the highest types of poetry; it is actually poetry set in prose, and boasts the best traits of each."
