Produktinformationen zu „Doctor Glas (ePub)“
Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published in 1905, this astonishing novel juxtaposes impressions of fin-de-siècle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a man besieged by obsession. Lonely and introspective, Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. So when the minister's beautiful wife complains of her husband's oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder. A masterpiece of enduring power, Doctor Glas confronts a chilling moral quandary with gripping intensity.
Autoren-Porträt von Hjalmar Soderberg, Tom Rachman
Hjalmar Söderberg (18691941) was one of the most distinguished of Scandinavian novelists. He was born and raised in Stockholm and spent the last twentyfive years of his life in Copenhagen. In addition to novels he wrote short stories and plays as well as literary criticism and philosophical works about religion. He has been praised for his fictional vignettes of Stockholm life and for being a forerunner in the use of psychoanalytic theory and streamofconsciousness in his fiction. Söderberg's novels include Confusions, Martin Birck's Youth, and The Serious Game; Doctor Glas is regarded as his masterpiece.The translator of four Swedish novels into English, Dr. Rochelle Wright is Professor Emerita of the University of Illinois, ChampaignUrbana. Her publications include Danish Immigrant Ballads and Songs (1983), The Visible Walls: Jews and Other Ethnic Outsiders in Swedish Film (1998) and numerous articles on both literary and cinematic topics with a particular focus on the novels of Kerstin Ekman.
Tom Rachman is the author of two novels, The Rise & Fall of Great Powers (2014), and The Imperfectionists (2010), an international bestseller that has been translated into 25 languages.
