Book Details
Hamsun's portrait of a man rejecting the claims of bourgeois society for a Rousseauian embrace of Nature and Eros, in a remarkable new translation.
"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." Isaac Bashevis Singer

In The News
"Knut Hamsun’s greatest novels ... throttle reason. In Hunger (1890), Mysteries (1892) and Pan (1894), the Norwegian writer founded the kind of Modernist novel which largely ended with Beckett – of crepuscular states, of alienation and leaping surrealism, and of savage fictionality." - London Review of Books
