Overview
Gradiva: A Pompeiian Fancy is a novel written by Wilhelm Jensen and first published in 1918. The book tells the story of Norbert Hanold, a young archaeologist who becomes obsessed with a relief sculpture of a woman he discovers in Pompeii. Hanold becomes convinced that the woman in the sculpture, whom he names Gradiva, is alive and sets out to find her. As he searches for Gradiva, Hanold experiences vivid dreams and hallucinations that blur the lines between reality and imagination. He becomes increasingly fixated on the idea of meeting Gradiva, even as his colleagues and friends try to convince him that she is merely a figment of his imagination. Gradiva: A Pompeiian Fancy is a psychological novel that explores themes of obsession, desire, and the nature of reality. It is considered a classic of German literature and has been adapted into several films and plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
