Egholm and his God
By JOHANNES BUCHHOLTZ (Danish)
Translated by W. WORSTER, M.A.
Crown 8vo Cloth 8/6 net
Buchholtz is one of the most original of modern Danish writers. His characters are creations of great imaginative power and human interest; he brings before us a gallery of varied personages; quaint and yet true to life as those of Dickens. And he shows a great fertility of invention in contriving for them the most amazing situations.
The story of Egholm, the fantastic enthusiast and inventor, his conflict with the remarkable “Brotherhood” in one little town, and his extraordinary achievements and failures in another, is one of the author’s best, rich in humour and full of unexpected developments.
The book is one that should appeal to every class of reader.
