Autorenporträt

Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847-1885) was a Danish author and poet, recognized for his naturalistic style and profound psychological insights. Born in Thisted, Denmark, Jacobsen pursued studies in botany, which influenced the detailed and rich descriptions of nature evident in his literary work. His contribution as a writer is often seen as a precursor to the Symbolist and Modernist movements. Jacobsen's novel, 'Niels Lyhne' (1880), remains his most acclaimed work and is a seminal piece of Scandinavian literary realism. This novel tells the story of an atheist's struggle with faith and meaning in a world fraught with suffering and beauty. Profoundly contemplative, it delves into themes of existential significance and personal ambition, while exhibiting Jacobsen's characteristic lyrical prose and emotional depth. Despite a relatively small output due to a short life-he succumbed to tuberculosis at age 38-Jacobsen's influence on Danish literature is significant; Sigmund Freud and Rainer Maria Rilke counted themselves among his admirers. His literary approach combines a scientific attention to detail with a deep humanism, a combination that has ensured his continuing relevance to both literary scholars and general readers pursuing the enduring questions of human existence.
