Mysteries
ISBN: 9780141186184 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Mysteries (1892) is the story of Johan Nilsen Nagel, a mysterious stranger who suddenly turns up in a small Norwegian town one summer-and just as suddenly disappears. Nagel is a complete outsider, a sort of modern Christ treated in a spirit of near parody. He condemns the politics and thought of the age, brings comfort to the insulted and injured and gains the love of two women suggestive of the biblical Mary and Martha.
