Tory,
I had to request it through interlibrary loan, so I know that it's a title
that most libraries don't stock. Check a university library, if the City
Library doesn't yield results. At any rate, here is the bibliographical
information:
Jacobsen, J.P. (Jens Peter), 1847-1885.
[Mogens og andre noveller. English]
Mogens and other stories/Jens Peter Jacobsen;
translated from the Danish and with an afterword by Tiina Nunnaly. -
1st ed.
p. cm.--(Fjord modern classics; no 5)
ISBN 0-940242-58-3
And since one or two people are interested, here's the quote about Jacobsen
in Rilke's second letter to Kappus:
"Do avail yourself of the small book, Six Stories, by J.P. Jacobsen and his
novel, Niels Lyhne, and begin with the first story in the first set, called
"Mogens." A whole world will envelop you--- the joy, the wealth, the
incomprehensible greatness of a world! Live awhile within these books.
Learn of them, whatever seems worth the learning, but above all, love them.
For this love you shall be requited a thousand and a thousand times over, no
matter what turn your life will take..."
I just picked up the book this evening, and haven't had the opportunity to
read more than a paragraph or two, but I'd be interested in hearing if you
can find it and if you enjoy it.
Thanks,
Cecilia.
