En una deslumbrante historia, a medio camino entre la novela de formación y el cuento de hadas, el joven protagonista de Mogens (1872) tendrá que aprender a vivir guiándose por sus inclinaciones, en lugar de plegarse a los convencionalismos imperantes, y enfrentarse al reto de recuperar la esperanza tras la perdida de su amada. La peste en Bergamo (1881), que funciona a la vez como una poderosa alegoria y un estudio de psicologia de masas en el que el autor disecciona el enfrentamiento entre un desesperado grupo de hedonistas y unos fanaticos religiosos, sirvio de inspiracion a Thomas Mann para La muerte en Venecia. El relato que completa el volumen, La señora Fnss (1882), nos presenta a una mujer al borde de la muerte que sin remordimientos, pero ansiosa por ser comprendida, dirige una emocionante carta a sus hijos, quienes la obligaron a elegir entre ellos y el amor de su vida, reencontrado en la edad tardia.

Jacobsen has made a more profound impression on me emotionally than anything else Ive read in recent years. Sigmund Freud In Jacobsen we have the earliest and noblest example of an author who combines a powerful imagination and a wistfully tender nature with all the finesse of the most highly developed realism. Hermann Hesse One of the best books Ive ever read. Delius. Marie Grubbe is loosely based on the true story of a Danish noble woman of the same name. A wealthy heiress she married the illegitimate son of Frederik The Third of Denmark and Norway. The relationship was unhappy and violent, and, after she had had several affairs, her husband divorced her allowing her to keep her substantial dowry. For the next two years, Marie Grubbe travelled around Europe with her brother-in-law and lover spending the fortune her mother had left her. On her return her father married her to a local nobleman but this relationship too was unhappy. At the age of forty-six, she finally met the man who was going to be her companion for the rest of her life: a coach driver more than twenty years her junior. A wonderful historical novel and one of the jewels of Danish 19-th century fiction
