Exquisite prose for gourmet readers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I can see why Jacobsen was Rilke's favorite author. These stories are lapidary prose of the highest order -- each word was carefully chosen to produce the precise effect the author wanted, and it works. Travel with Jacobsen to the fogbound Danish coast of Jutland, the imposing Papal city of Avignon, or, in one of the masterpieces of the short story form, the medieval Italian city of Bergamo. The title novella, "Mogens," is the perfect warmup before diving into Jacobsen's amazing Bildungsroman, Niels Lyhne. Enjoy bathing your mind in the words of a master.
