Fru Marie Grubbe: Interieurer fra det syttende Aarhundrede
By J. P. Jacobsen
Marie Grubbe, a real Danish noblewoman of the seventeenth century, grows up hungry for a great love and a great life. Married young to Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve, the king's glamorous illegitimate son, she leaves him, marries again and keeps falling down the social ladder in search of something she can believe in. J. P. Jacobsen's richly detailed historical novel follows her across fifty years, from a manor garden to a ferry inn.
