Dear Matt - thank you so much for that extremely concise but erudite and perceptive review of my novel translation. I am so glad you mentioned Kierkegaard's influence as this is just as important as Nietzsche's in my view. Tak skal du have - Paul Larkin, County Donegal, Ireland.
I mis-spelled Kierkegaard's name in the video. I do apologise. Also I forgot to mention Nietzsche, this is probably becuase i have been mentioning him almost in every video. His influence on literature of late 19th century and early 20 century is immense. I hope you enjoed the video. Take it easy!
Thank you for this video! I've just watched the movie today and while researching w bit about it, I came across your video - not only it is nicely explained, but it also connected some dots after the film. Thank you!
I'm so glad to finally come across this! Have always felt that 'Lykke Per' and Billie August are very underrated among the Int'l audience. The background score & the performances were very powerful 🌟 I've been wanting to read the novel as well but I just don't know which English translation should I trust to do justice to the original work 🙈
I watched the movie after posting this video. I loved the movie especially the acting is so convincing and great! It’s a great novel. It’s definitely underrated. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for another great video and recommendation. To you, I recommend Niels Lyhne by Jens Peter Jacobsen, written in 1880. This novel influenced later giants like Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Rilke, Walser, Ibsen--I think Kafka too.
Have you read “Pelle Erobreren” or “Pelle the conqueror” by Martin Andersen Nexø. Nexø is a famous danish communist author who was inspired by Pontoppidan. Furthermore the book was turned into a movie in the 1980s and received an Oscar for best foreign film.
The glorification of the anti-hero, sickness and failure. Keep aspiring for greatness while maintaining the deeper human needs. Do not allow these books to destroy your heroic urge for greatness.
