Description

A searing masterwork of Northern European literature, Doctor Glas is a brooding and intensely psychological novel. Written by Hjalmar Soderberg in 1905, it juxtaposes the dark atmosphere of fin-de-si cle Stockholm with the inner turmoil of its protagonist. The story revolves around a complex web of obsession and desire, as a lonely and introspective doctor finds himself drawn into a world of moral ambiguity. With its stark and unflinching portrayal of human nature, Doctor Glas is a deeply unsettling read that challenges the reader to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. This edition, published in 2019, brings this astonishing novel to English-speaking readers for the first time, offering a fresh opportunity to experience Soderberg's groundbreaking work.
