A Short Life of Kierkegaard - Thryft
A Short Life of Kierkegaard - Thryft

Provocative glimpse into Kierkegaard's tumultuous life.

Imagine delving into the depths of a misunderstood genius's life, feeling the weight of his melancholic reflections and the wit beneath his despair. 'A Short Life of Kierkegaard' gives you that rare blend of personal drama and intellectual vigor. It's a biography that's as much a philosophical journey as it is a narrative about the peculiar, leggy Danish thinker who sought to challenge the world with his ideas. For an intimate look at the man whose existential musings shaped modern thought, this read is both enlightening and deeply humanizing.

Description

In this classic biography, the celebrated Kierkegaard translator Walter Lowrie presents a charming and warmly appreciative introduction to the life and work of the great Danish writer. Lowrie tells the story of Kierkegaard's emotionally turbulent life with a keen sense of drama and an acute understanding of how his life shaped his thought. The result is a wonderfully informative and entertaining portrait of one of the most important thinkers of the past two centuries. This edition also includes Lowrie's wry essay "How Kierkegaard Got into English," which tells the improbable story of how Lowrie became one of Kierkegaard's principal English translators despite not learning Danish until he was in his 60s, as well as a new introduction by Kierkegaard scholar Alastair Hannay.
