First Edition
hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dustjacket. No Jacket. First Edition. New Haven. 2017. Yale University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good. No Dustjacket. 9780300218930. 234 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe Scandinavia Denmark Literature Biography Literary Criticism World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Beautifully written and incisive, this is the first English biography of a major Scandinavian author who is ripe for rediscovery. While largely unknown today, Danish writer and Darwin translator Jens Peter Jacobsen was the leading prose writer in Scandinavia in the late nineteenth century and part of a generation that included Henrik Ibsen, Knut Hamsun, and August Strindberg. His novels Marie Grubbe and Niels Lyhne as well as his stories and poems were widely admired by writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, and James Joyce. Despite his untimely death from tuberculosis at the age of thirty-eight, Jacobsen became a cult figure to an entire generation and continues to occupy an important place in Scandinavian cultural history. In this book, Morten Høi Jensen gives a moving account of Jacobsen's life, work, and death: his passionate interest in the natural sciences, his complicated and nuanced attitude to his own atheism, and his painful descent toward an early death. Carefully researched and sympathetically imagined, this is an evocative portrait of one of the most influential and gifted writers of the nineteenth century. inventory #47507.

The Master of Contradictions
Language: English
Published by Yale University Press, US, 2026
ISBN 10: 0300233744 ISBN 13: 9780300233742
Hardback. Condition: New. The arresting story of how Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain as a defeated Germany descended into political chaos"A lavish work of historical analysis that doubles as a kind of psychological thriller. Mann's magnum opus is not just a novel, Jensen suggests, but a thinly veiled spiritual autobiography."-Anna Ballan, New Criterion Like many writers of his generation, Thomas Mann (1875-1955) welcomed the outbreak of the First World War. He viewed it as a spiritual necessity, a chance to reassert German cultural dominance over Western ideas of democracy and enlightenment. Then, in 1924, he published The Magic Mountain, a massive novel that culminates in the slaughter of war and foreshadows the Nazi terror to come. One of the central achievements of modernism, The Magic Mountain bears testimony to its author's dramatic political reorientation as a defender of democracy. This poignant book is a biography of Mann's great novel-its evolution from a short story into a two-volume masterpiece and one of the bestselling novels of the Weimar era. Deftly weaving together elements of biography, history, and literary criticism, Morten Høi Jensen reveals how writing The Magic Mountain against a backdrop of world war, revolution, hyperinflation, and rising right-wing terror moved Mann to embrace the democratic and humanistic ideas he once scorned. One hundred years after The Magic Mountain was first published, at a time when democratic ideas are again under threat, Jensen reveals the universality and timeliness of Mann's great novel-its still-resonant debates over democracy and tyranny, time and place, illness and death.
