This novel is impressing, voluminous and filled with insight, a beautiful fruit of a lifelong passion for this material
A masterpiece … Tudvad has given new life to [Kierkegaard] and made him present as a person and as one of the world’s greatest thinkers
Tudvad is so infatuated in Kierkegaard that he manage to understand him well. He has enough madness to contain this mad man, and at the same time he is doubtful and ironic so he can hold a reflective distance to the suffering Søren
A tour de force. As a hybrid between a novel and a biography this book demands a lot of its readers, but it is worth all the efforts
