WINNER OF THE 1944 NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE THIS IS THE FIRST VOLUME OF HIS 6 VOLUME EPIC: "THE LONG JOURNEY" (DEN LANGE REJSE) THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE AUTHOR'S GREAT RACIAL EPIC. THESE NOVELS, COLLECTIVELY KNOW AS "THE LONG JOURNEY" (DEN LANGE REJSE) WRITTEN BETWEEN 1908 AND 1922, WHICH HAVE MADE JOHANNES V. JENSEN FAMOUS, PRESENT A CURIOUS MINGLING OF THE AUTHOR'S PERSONAL VIEWS ON DARWINIAN EVOLUTIONARY THEORY, NATURE PICTURES, AND PURELY POETIC IMAGINATION, IN WHICH HUMANITY IS FOLLOWED FROM THE ICE AGE, THROUGH THE TRIBAL MIGRATIONS AND THE VIKING PERIOD, DOWN TO THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA BY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. THEY ARE CARRIED BY A MAGNIFICENTLY CONCEIVED PURPOSE, A BEWILDERING IMAGINATION, AND A RICHLY VARIED STYLE; BUT AT TIMES THEY ARE UNEVEN AND DISCONNECTED. PALE GREEN PRINTED WRAPS ARE ABOUT FINE WITH FAINT DAMP MARK AT THE TOP OF THE FIRST 30 PAGES. TAN PRINTED D.J. HAS SOME MODERATE SOIL AND STAINING WITH MODEST SUNNING TO THE SPINE PANEL, AND A FEW SHORT TEARS ALONG THE TOP EDGE. A VERY NICE CLEAN AND TIGHT COPY OF THIS MASTERPIECE OF WORLD LITERATURE.
