Jens Bjørneboe Book order (chronological)
October 9, 1920 – May 9, 1976
Jens Bjørneboe was a Norwegian writer and painter whose work served as a potent, eloquent critique of Norwegian society and Western civilization. His uncompromising humanism and relentless pursuit of truth led him through a turbulent life marked by profound depression, alcoholism, and even an obscenity conviction. Identifying as an anarcho-nihilist, Bjørneboe's literary output, spanning novels, poetry, and plays, delves into themes of injustice, societal failings, and the human condition. He is regarded as one of Norway's most significant post-war authors, celebrated for a writing style characterized by passion and a courageous willingness to explore extremes.
This volume marks the apex and the culmination of the provocative Norwegian author Jens Bjorneboe's investigations into the nature of evil.
