Jurgen

More about the book

Exploring the profound themes of aging, death, and the elusiveness of happiness, the narrative follows Jurgen's fantastical adventures, resonating deeply with those attuned to symbolism and metaphor. While it may not appeal to everyone, its unique blend of humor and obscurity has sparked both admiration and controversy, leading to attempts at suppression and a counter-cultural following. This edition features explanatory footnotes from 1928, classic illustrations by Frank C. Pape, and a map of Jurgen's land, presenting the most complete version of this fantasy classic.
