Description

In his highly acclaimed novel JOURNEY IN BLUE Stig Dalager has conjured up the complex personality of the Danish master storyteller Hans Christian Anderson to create a vivid and fascinating portrait of the writer. Anderson’s life swims into focus in fragments as morphine is administered to him in his final days. His interactions with the men and women who influenced his life and work reveal how her transformed his experiences into literature, including his celebrated fairy tales. Yet his painful search for literary validation and religious certainty, combined with other longings that he is not always able to identify or control often result in him feeling alienated, even tormented, and unable to understand why the Danes should have ambiguous feelings about him and the significance of his writings; for years he felt unrecognized as a major artist in his own country. JOURNEY IN BLUE is an absorbing journey through the mind, spirit and imagination of one of the most important names in world literature.
