Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade from 1870 to 1880 a new spirit was stirring in the intellectual and literary world of Denmark. George Brandes was delivering his lectures on the Main Currents of Nineteenth Century Literature; from Norway came the deeply probing questionings of the granitic Ibsen; from across the North Sea from England echoes of the evolutionary theory and Darwinism. It was a time of controversy and bitterness, of a conflict joined between the old and the new, both going to extremes, in which nearly every one had a share. How many of the works of that period are already out-worn, and how old-fashioned the theories that were then so violently defended and attacked! Too much logic, too much contention for its own sake, one might say, and too little art. This was the period when Jens Peter Jacobsen began to write, but 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. There is in his work something of the passion for form and style that one finds in Flaubert and Pater, but where they are often hard, percussive, like a piano, he is soft and strong and intimate like a violin on which he plays his reading of life. Such analogies, however, have little significance, except that they indicate a unique and powerful artistic personality. Jacobsen is more than a mere stylist. The art of writers who are too consciously that is a sort of decorative representation of life, a formal composition, not a plastic composition. One element particularly characteristic of Jacobsen is his accuracy of observation and minuteness of detail welded with a deep and intimate understanding of the human heart. His characters are not studied tissue by tissue as under a scientist's microscope, rather they are built up living cell by living cell out of the author's experience and imagination. He shows how they are conditioned and modified by their physical being, their inheritance and environment, Through each of his senses he lets impressions from without pour into him. He harmonizes them with a passionate desire for beauty into marvelously plastic figures and moods. A style which grows thus organically from within is style out of richness; the other is style out of poverty.Ê

Book excerpt: In Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, Rilke claims that there are only two books he finds truly indispensable and that he carries with him wherever he goes: the Bible and The Collected Works of Jens Peter Jacobsen. In Rilke's words, reading Jacobsen is like "a whole world envelop[ing] you, the happiness, the abundance, the inconceivable vastness of a world. Live for a while in these books, learn from them what you feel is worth learning, but most of all love them. This love will be returned to you thousands upon thousands of times, whatever your life may become... it will go through the whole fabric of your being, as one of the most important threads among all the threads of your experiences, disappointments, and joys." In order to give every English language reader that same life-altering experience described by Rilke, we are please to offer in one volume all of the essential works of prose fiction by Danish novelist Jens Peter Jacobsen -- the ground-breaking novelist of the Modern Breakthrough and master of literary naturalism, and probably the greatest and most influential nineteenth century European novelist you've never heard of. Included in this volume are the following novels and novellas: Marie Grubbe (1876), translated by Hanna Astrup Larsen Niels Lyhne (1880), translated by Hanna Astrup Larsen Mogens (1882), translated by Anna Grabow The Plague in Bergamo (1882), translated by Anna Grabow There Should Have Been Roses (1882), translated by Anna Grabow Mrs. Fonss (1882), translated by Anna Grabow Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885) was a Danish novelist, poet, and scientist, often publishing just under the name "J. P. Jacobsen." He is considered to be the founder of the naturalist movement in Danish literature and a key leader of the Modern Breakthrough. Originally finding success as a scientist, Jacobsen was the author of an early Danish translation of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Spies and The Descent of Man. As a writer of fiction, he was the author of Fru Marie Grubbe (1876), a ground-breaking work in its depiction of the downfall of a Danish noblewomen that is evocative of the later works of D.H. Lawrence, Niels Lyhne (1880), the story of an atheist struggling in a merciless world that is evocative of the later works of Albert Camus, and the short-story collection Mogens og andre Noveller (1882).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a star-studded auction in 1990, a painting was sold for the record-breaking price of $82.5 million. That painting, Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet, has seemed to countless admirers to portray our times as "something bright in spite of its inevitable griefs." This fascinating book reconstructs the painting's journey and becomes a rich story of modernist art and the forces behind the art market. Masterfully evoked are the lives of the thirteen extraordinary people who owned the painting and shaped its history: avant-garde European collectors, pioneering dealers in Paris and Berlin, a brilliant medievalist who acquired it for one of Germany's great museums, and a member of the Nazi elite who sold it after it had been confiscated as a work of "degenerate art." Remarkable and riveting, The Portrait of Dr. Gachet illuminates, in dramatic detail, the dynamics of the art market and of culture in our time.
