Between "Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil" lies the time generally allotted to a generation, but at first glance the two books seem much farther apart. One expresses the passionate revolt of a homeless wanderer against the conventional routine of modern life. The other celebrates a root-fast existence bounded in every direction by monotonous chores. The issuance of two such books from the same pen suggests to the superficial view a complete reversal of position. The truth, however, is that Hamsun stands today where he has always stood. His objective is the same. If he has changed, it is only in the intensity of his feeling and the mode of his attack. What, above all, he hates and combats is the artificial uselessness of existence which to him has become embodied in the life of the city as opposed to that of the country.

The Master at work
By Brian D. Fitzpatrick
I realize this may seem an unorthodox approach to a review format,but I prefer to taste my food a tad,if allowed,and if I like it,of course I'll eat the whole meal and maybe the plate too.
Excerpts from the adventures of Thomas Glahn:
"...I believe I can read a little of the souls of those around me;maybe it is not so.Oh,when I have a good day I feel as if I can peer deep into other people's souls,although I don't have a particularly good head on my shoulders..."
"...I stand up and listen.No one has heard me.I sit down again.I give thanks for the solitary night,for the mountains,for the roar of the darkness and the sea that echoes in my own heart!I give thanks for my life,for my breath,for the grace of being alive tonight;for that I give thanks in my heart!..."
"...The first day in the forest.I was happy and faint,the animals came up close and looked me over,there were beetles on the leafy trees and blister beetles crawling on the path.Hello there! I thought.The mood of the forest moved back and forth in my senses,I wept for love of it
and was perfectly happy,dissolved in thanksgiving.Sweet forest,my home,may God's peace be with you,it comes straight from the heart..."
"...Well.And then sometimes I look at the grass,and maybe the grass looks back at me,what do we know?
Pan was written in 1894.Hamsun,of peasant origin,had almost no formal education.Isaac Bashevis Singer comment on Pan.
"... The work contains a harmony found only in the highest types of poetry;it's actually poetry set in prose,and boasts the best traits of each..."
Pan is a wonderful read.Hamsun has a unique way of describing the inner workings of the human psyche.Thomas Glahn is a perplexing character,a very interesting character,but somewhat of an oddball in his commiserations with people,most notably with women.A fascinating read.
'...I love three things,I then said."I love a dream of love I once had,I
love you,and I love this patch of earth"."And which did you love best?"The dream"...."

Melodramatic Love Story from the 1890s
By Addison Dewitt
Knut Hamsun's "Pan" was written in 1894. While that in itself isn't necessarily germane to the quality of the book, it does help to keep the book's era in mind when casting a critical eye in terms of a review. Things were very different in those days when it came to romance and Hamsun does not follow the typical, harmless love story caprice of the time, but instead sends up a darkened view of what troubled romance can be, even today.
The main two characters are star-crossed would-be lovers who are on-again, off again throughout the story. The "Pan" in this case is the hunter Glahn, a hut-dwelling soldier who roves the woods for game and whatever female sexual conquest that literally crosses his path. Glahn eventually runs into Edwarda (the back cover of this edition calls her Edwina, a glaring error). Edwarda is basically an assistant manager of a hotel with a bit of scullery maid mixed in. She organizes parties, outings and the like and occasionally invites the animalistic, moody Glahn with mixed results.
Both Glahn and Edwarda would be, in today's terms, classified as bi-polar if not nearly psychotic. One is as bad as the other and unpredictability reigns supreme. Just when you think they're going to finally calm down and let love take it's course, they're in another unprovoked tiff. Occasionally, Glahn runs into the blacksmith's wife, Eva, whom he seems to use for sexual release, even though his mind and heart are - strangely - with Edwarda. Eva comes to a horrible and tragic end, made more so by the identity of the culprit.
The story is told in first-person by Glahn, however, the book's final chapters describe Glahn's fate written by another voice. The writing is prosaic and has a rhythm which is a bit difficult at first but within a few chapters became more palatable. The book's melodramatic sensibilities and story reminded me much of Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot", with it's revelations about a strange, unrelenting woman and the odd men who surround and desire her.
For me, the book was best digested a few chapters at a time and I recommend reading it in this fashion rather than all at once. Much like visiting a mental patient, you'll need breaks between visits to clear your mind. Even so, I found it oddly entertaining and a good read which, if correctly treated, would make a wonderful romantic tale in film form.

The gospel of new romanticism
By Fortinbras
After disclosing his own eccentric nature in the semi-autobiographical and often hilarious Hunger, all of Hamsun's books got this certain sadness to them, as if he knew his moment of surprise was gone forever and he could never top it.
But Pan is absolute beauty. Because this is the magic of a full integration of man into nature. Because this is dealing with an absolute and unattainable freedom. And because it depicts the irrationalities and hazardousness of mans journey into love.
To acquire the necessary distance to it, Hamsun sat in Paris and wrote it, the story takes place in the Nordland region of Norway where he grew up. Every page is like a poem (although 'the Nordland summer, with its endless day' doesnt at all do justice to the yen singing of the original 'Nordlandssommerens evige dag'). I try to read it every spring and it always sets me back to my youth, to the days of a comfortable lack of concern and to the hurtful struggles of romance.
This book is, as the title suggests, pure pantheism and it is the most precious of poetries out of nordic litterature.
