By: Henrik Pontoppidan     
A Nobel Prize-winner's unforgettable novel about a man who sheds the stifling country life of his childhood for the excitement of Copenhagen.

This masterpiece of Danish literature, admired by the likes of Georg Lukács and Ernst Bloch, is now available in a new English translation.

A Fortunate Man tells the story of Per Sidenius, a Lutheran pastor's son who revolts against his family and flees the backwaters of Jutland for Copenhagen. Per is handsome, ambitious, and hungry for the technological future of the twentieth century. He studies engineering and draws up plans for a new port and new canals, for harnessing wind and wave energy to transform Denmark into a commercial giant. Fully persuaded of his own genius, Per first repels and then attracts Jakobe Salomon, a young Jewish woman whose family is eager to underwrite his plans. They fall in love and get engaged; gradually Jakobe opens Per's eyes to the wider world. Meanwhile, he also falls under the spell of Dr. Nathan, a popular philosopher who rails against the conservative powers that be. But ultimately these powers win out, Per's relationship with Jakobe founders, and he goes home to Jutland and marries a pastor's daughter. Though fortunate, he is never happy.

One of the last great nineteenth-century novels and Henrik Pontoppidan's masterpiece, A Fortunate Man anatomizes and skewers Danish society, from the small towns to the metropolis. Paul Larkin's dazzling translation brings out the wide range and full force of a novel admired by Georg Lukács and praised by Ernst Bloch as "one of the foundational texts of world literature."

This translation was funded in part by a grant from the Danish Arts Foundation.

Excellent RV Extension Cord – Heavy Duty Quality and Best Value for Power Needs!
Size: 25-Foot, Style: 90° Locking End
The Camco Power Grip 25-Ft 50 Amp RV Extension Cord has been absolutely essential for our RV camping adventures! As full-time RVers who frequently encounter campground electrical pedestals that are inconveniently located, this heavy-duty extension cord has solved countless site setup challenges. The 50 amp capacity handles our RV's full electrical load including air conditioning, and the 25-foot length gives us the flexibility to position our rig exactly where we want it. What impressed me most is the exceptional build quality and safety features. The cord feels substantial and professional-grade, clearly designed to handle the demanding electrical requirements of modern RVs. The 90° locking end is genius—it keeps the connection secure and reduces strain on both the cord and the pedestal connection, which is especially important during windy conditions or when other campers accidentally bump into it. The Power Grip handles make connecting and disconnecting so much easier and safer, especially in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. The cord is rated for 125/250V and 12,500W, giving me complete confidence that it can safely handle our RV's maximum electrical demands without overheating or voltage drop issues that can damage sensitive electronics. For such a heavy-duty, professional-quality 50 amp RV extension cord with excellent safety features, the price was absolutely the best value I found anywhere. RV dealers charge much more for comparable cords with fewer features. I'm very likely to buy a second one as backup and have recommended it to fellow RVers in our camping group. This cord has made campground electrical connections so much more convenient and reliable! Solid 5 stars!
