About This Item
Copenhagen: P. G. Philipsens Forlag, 1890. First Edition. Very Good. First edition of one of the earliest modernist novels, in the original Norwegian language. Bound in half leather over marbled boards with spine lettered in gilt. Very Good with sunning to spine and rubbing to binding. Bookplate to front pastedown, previous owner name to front free endpaper, another owner name and date to title page, foxing and browning to pages, and small ink notation on final page of text likely denoting the date a former owner finished reading this book. A work hailed as the literary opening of the 20th century--a semi-autobiographical and psychological-driven novel depicting the author's impoverished life on the streets of Kristiania (modern-day Oslo).
