About This Book
A hunter escapes the pressures of modern civilization to ramble through northern Norway’s forests. Thomas Glahn’s only friend is his dog, Aesop, until he meets Edvarda, a woman that breaks through his isolated existence. Hamsun explores the wild beauty of the landscape and forces us to look into the shadowy alcoves of the human mind.
