Mogens and Other Stories by Jens Peter Jacobsen, Fiction, Short Stories, Classics, Literary

Like the single volume of short stories Jacobsen published in 1882, three years before he died of tuberculosis, both of his novels are unique in an age of realism on account of their highly charged, atmospheric prose and almost lyrical style. Jacobsen's late Romantic or early Symbolist poetry was not published in book form until after his death.

About the Author
Jacobsen, Jens Peter: - "Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885) was a Danish novelist, poet and scientist, in Denmark often just written as J. P. Jacobsen (and pronounced I. P. Jacobsen). He began the naturalist movement in Danish literature and was a part of the Modern Breakthrough. Jacobsen's canon consists of two novels, seven short stories and one posthumous volume of poetry - small, but enough to place him as one of the most influential Danish writers."
