Scandinavian Classics, Vol. VII. Marie Grubbe, a Lady of the Seventeenth Century

Quick Read

"Niels Lyhne" is a novel written by Danish author Jens Peter Jacobsen in 1880. It is considered a naturalistic work and part of the Modern Breakthrough movement in Scandinavian Realism. While it contains romantic elements, the novel also critiques atheism and faith. The story follows the protagonist, Niels Lyhne, as he renounces his faith, experiences loss, and ultimately faces disillusionment and death. The novel explores themes of individual struggle, artistic expression, and the helplessness of the individual. It is regarded as the first novel to depict the state of mind of the atheistic bourgeois intelligentsia. Rainer Maria Rilke, in "Letters to a Young Poet," praises the novel alongside the Bible as essential reading. "Niels Lyhne" has been translated into English as "Siren Voices" and a more faithful translation is available under the original title. It is considered a precursor to existentialist novels of the mid-20th century. Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read.

Mogens & Other Stories

Marie Grubbe, a Lady of the Seventeenth Century is a book by Jens Peter Jacobsen. A Danish noblewoman explores her desire for an independent and satisfying erotic life.

Marie Grubbe is a historical psychological novel that treats woman as a being driven by instinct and desire. The protagonist, Marie, is a Danish noblewoman that has a yearning for an individual and a satisfying erotic lifestyle. Searching for her own identity in a judgmental society might turn out to be easier said than done…!

Niels Lyhne is a young Danish man from a rural family. As time moves forward, we are living things with him: his first love, his setbacks, his joys, his sorrows, his friendships and his dreams of being a poet. Naturalism and romanticism are very present in Jacobsen's writing and scenery. His writing has high beauty and detail, and we have long passages of Lhyne's reflections on what is happening to him as he undergoes personal tragedies and is sent to war.

Excerpt from Niels Lyhne To the student of Jens Peter Jacobsen's life and works, Niels Lyhne has a value apart from its greatness as literature from the fact that it is the book in which the author recorded his own spiritual struggles and embodied the faith on which he came, finally, to rest his soul in death as in life. It tells of his early dreams and ideals, his efforts to know and to achieve, his revolt against the dream-swathed dogmas in which people take refuge from harsh reality, and his brave acceptance of what he conceived to be the truth, however dreary and bitter. The person of the hero is marked for a self-portrait by the description,"Niels Lyhne of Lon-borggaard, who was twenty-three years old, walked with a slight stoop, had beautiful hands and small ears, and was a little timid," - though friends of Jacobsen's youth declare that "a little timid" was far from describing the excessive shyness from which he suffered. He himself would sometimes joke about his "North Cimbrian heaviness," for like Niels Lyhne he was a native of Jutland, where the people are more sluggish than the sprightly islanders. Like him, again, he had a mother who kept alive her romantic spirit in rather humdrum, prosaic surroundings, and who instilled into her son's mind from childhood the idea that he was to be a poet.

Niels Lyhne (Classic Reprint)

A Frontispiece and a Biographical Sketch

This book is a classic collection of short stories from a poet Jens Peter Jacobsen associated with the so-called "modern breakthrough" in Danish literature in the 1870s. Jacobsen's immediate importance was his status as the writer of his generation. He stood aside from the conflict, content to be merely artist, a creator of beauty and a seeker after truth, eager to bring into the realm of literature "the eternal laws of nature, its glories, its riddles, its miracles," as he once put it. That is why his work has retained its living colors until to-day, without the least trace of fading.
