Mogens and Other Stories
by Jens Peter Jacobsen
80 pages, Paperback
First published January 1, 1872
References to this collection by Jens Peter Jacobsen can be found in the work of Rainer Maria Rilke. Mogens and Other Stories is a worthwhile read if you wish to ponder esoteric renderings of the truth and beauty lurking beneath the dark night of the soul. The collection includes one of the finest “fire” scenes ever written—a blazing inferno that scorches the earth, leaving nothing in its wake but smoldering embers, molten metal, and black soot.
