Description
A Uniquely Bound Copy of the Nobel Laureate’s Masterpiece HAMSUN, Knut Pan Af Løjtant Thomas Glahns Papirer [Pan. From the Papers of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn]. Copenhagen: P.G. Philisens Forlag, 1894. Octavo. [iv], 241, [1] pp. Bound in half green crushed levant morocco with alligator-skin-style paper boards, spine stamped in gilt with two serpentine devices; art-nouveau style end-papers. Spine and corners a bit sunned, some rubbing to edges of boards, otherwise a very good copy of this important work. First edition of this work by the 1920 Nobel Prize winning author of Sult (Hunger). Written in the form of a hunter’s diary Pan is the story of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, a hunter who is rejected by the woman he loves. Written while Hamsun was in Paris, it examines the darkest aspects of human interaction while detailing the life of Glahn, set against the Norwegian wilderness. Hamsun was a (1859-1952) Norwegian novelist, dramatist and poet. His impoverished childhood in Norway had a great influence on his writing, and the themes of poverty and isolation are pervasive. His other works include Growth of the Soil (for which he won the Nobel), and Mysteries and Vagabonds. He is often linked with the spiritual movement of Pantheism due to his brilliant and intimate descriptions of nature.
