Niels Lyhne Paperback - 2006
by Jens Peter Jacobsen; Tiina Nunnally (Translator); Introduction by Eric Johannesson
An award-winning translation of the influential Danish master
Niels Lyhne is an aspiring poet, torn between romanticism and realism, faith and reason. Through his relationships with six women including his young widowed aunt, a seductive free spirit, and his passionate cousin who marries his friend his search for purpose becomes a yielding to disillusionment. One of Danish literature's greatest novels, with nods to Kierkegaard and a protagonist some critics have compared to Hamlet, Jacobsen's masterpiece has at its center a young man who faces the anguish of the human condition but cannot find comfort in the Christian faith. Tiina Nunnally's award-winning translation offers readers a chance to experience anew a writer deeply revered by Rilke, Ibsen, Mann, and Hesse.
