Description
Carl Gjellerup (1857–1919), a Nobel laureate in 1917, belongs to the outstanding writers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries who brought a “breakthrough” of national culture and literature into Europe. The novel “The Mill” is the writer’s peak achievement in the genre of a psychological love novel. It is being published in Russian for the first time.
“The Mill” is a lyrical work from the life of the peasantry in the spirit of Turgenev’s prose. Its core is the hero’s dilemma—the miller Jacob’s torn path between animal passion and attraction (Lisa) and the ideal of love (Hannah). Lisa is a devilishly tempting, corrupt peasant woman who plays with men as she chooses. Hannah is God-fearing, sometimes a bit naive, a pretty girl. In a fit of jealousy, Jacob commits murder and begins his path to God through reflection on what he has done.
