Reviews

[Eduardo Ramos · Rating 2 out of 5]

The troubles of a young gentleman of means in Belle Époque Denmark, afflicted by temptations of marital infidelity. Sort of reverse Madame Bovary, minor historical curiosity from 1917 Nobel co-winner. Not too boring if you can suffer the mannered prose, maybe found in translation.

Mest af alt en ironisk stiløvelse. Der er ikke det forhold, ikke den person og den institution, som ikke beskrives ironisk. Ret uinteressant.

School-related. I'm doing an analysis on this.
Two to three stars... nearest two. Actually, I'm glad I read it.
