Doctor Glas Soderberg Hjalmar
A masterpiece of enduring power, Doctor Glas confronts a chilling moral quandary with gripping intensity. Lonely and introspective, Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. With an introduction by Margaret Atwood.Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published in 1905, this astonishing novel juxtaposes impressions of fin-de-siecle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a man besieged by obsession.
-Imagine the classic nineteenth-century drama featuring a tyrannical older man, his hapless daughter or young wife, and her caddish suitor, as in Balzac's Eugenie Grandet and Henry James's Washington Square, this time conjured up by a sensibility akin So when the minister's beautiful wife complains of her husband's oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder.
