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

Jacobsen's literary debut. 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.
