The Trouble with Happiness - Tove Ditlevsen Molly van Gelder Al bij leven had Plato

Al bij leven had Plato een min of meer goddelijke status

The Trouble with Happiness - Tove Ditlevsen Molly van Gelder Al bij leven had PlatoIn these brief, acid sharp stories of love, marriage and family from one of Denmark's most celebrated writers, the ordinary events of everyday life a wife anxious not to wake her husband, a little boy losing his father's beloved knife, a woman's obsessive longing for a yellow silk umbrella become dark and disconcerting. Here Tove Ditlevsen explores yearning, fear and the elusiveness of that strange thing called happiness.
