Doctor Glas

With an introduction from Margaret Atwood”A searing masterwork of Northern European literature. The retrieval of `Doctor Glas` in English is a bracing gift to hungry readers” Susan SontagLonely and introspective, Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. So when the minister’™s beautiful wife complains of her husband’™s oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder. Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published in 1905, this astonishing novel juxtaposes impressions of fin-de-siรจcle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a man besieged by obsession.
