Sull'Autore

Johannes V. Jensen has had great influence on Danish literature both as a lyric poet and as a novelist. He was born in a village in northwestern Jutland, where his father was a veterinarian and his grandfather a farmer and weaver. His early short stories, Himmerland Stories (1904, 1910), depict mostra altro this world of his childhood. Jensen studied medicine in Copenhagen but did not become a doctor. His great interest in anthropology and biology was concentrated in the theory of evolution. An optimist, Jensen wrote a series of myths, each portraying the same movement: the present is the culmination of all that has been in the past. This positive Darwinian philosophy permeates the six novels that comprise his epic The Long Journey (1908--22). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1944.

I had never heard of Johannes Jensen outside of seeing his name as a Nobel Prize winner. In the course of picking something to read, I learned that in 1999, two leading Danish newspapers, independently of each other, both named this the best Danish book of the 20th century! Now, having read it, I am completely baffled: why on earth isn’t Jensen better known? The book is about the fall of a king as well as about many people whose life stories Jensen weaves together brilliantly. But in some ways, every person and every story of those people is incidental. The book is not so much about the characters as it is about Denmark under King Christian II in the early 16th century. Warning: unless you know something about Denmark’s conquest of Sweden in that period or the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520, do yourself a favor and read a little in Wikipedia first. I got lost trying to follow the story given how Jensen presents it. But the book is brilliant. The writing is sometimes straightforward narrative, sometimes lyrical description, sometimes metaphysical musing. Some scenes are so vivid that I had to stop reading to let myself calm down a bit. What a gifted writer!… (altro)

La narración de Jensen nos sitúa en la Europa de principios del convulso siglo XVI y nos cuenta, a través del personaje Mikkel Thøgersen, las ambiciones, las conspiraciones y las batallas que hicieron de Christian II el último monarca que gobernó la Unión de Kalmar, que incluía los tres reinos nórdicos (Dinamarca, Suecia y Noruega). En Suecia se le conoció con el triste nombre de Christian el Tirano, por el Baño de Sangre de Estocolmo con el que conquistó Suecia, pero que motivó el levantamiento de los suecos y su posterior expulsión del país. Tras ser derrotado en Noruega fue recluido en el castillo de Sønderborg, en Dinamarca.
En esta obra Jensen pone de relieve lo que él consideraba como defectos característicos del pueblo danés: la irresolución y la falta de espontaneidad. Al mismo tiempo, el libro encierra las más hermosas descripciones de Dinamarca y sus gentes. El análisis psicológico de los personajes es realmente ejemplar.

En bog, der fik mig til at ligge vågen og være ked af livets ligegyldighed og dødens sikkerhed. Så ingen fornøjelse som sådan, men uden tvivl en læseoplevelse, jeg ikke sådan lige ryster af mig. Sproget var helt fantastisk nogle steder, særligt i krigsbeskrivelserne, andre steder noget tungt. Bogens struktur er spøjs og springer meget brat fra kapitel til kapitel. Personerne er påfaldende statiske, som om forfatterens pointe er, at vi uundgåeligt må følge en bestemt skæbne lagt fast tidligt i livet.… (altro)
