No, it is by Joakim Garff. It was originally published in Danish. English translation came early this year. Link to the publisher's page.
It is written in a very interesting, lively and engaging style, though still too big for amateur readers like me. Also I was looking for more "introductory" materials about Kierkegaard's work than just a narrative of his life. In that sense the book is a little disappointing.
ah I see...the Hannay one provides more philosophical background in this respect...I don't know the Gardiner one however...ncie,Kierkegaard...you really could dive into that, such rich & deep texts...and I like this idea of the pseudonyms....
oh you'rereading Kierkegaard...how nice...this is a nice quote

Have you tried Patrick Gardiner's "Kierkegaard: A Very Short Introduction"?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have read it. That's the OUP series, right? I really love those books.
