Soren Kierkegaard's remarkable combination of genius and peculiarity made this a fair, if arrogant, prediction. But his life has been notoriously hard to study, so complex was the web of fact and fiction in his work. Joakim Garff's biography of Kierkegaard is thus a landmark achievement. A seamless blend of history, philosophy and psychological insight, all conveyed with novelistic nerve, this is the most comprehensive and penetrating account yet written of the life and works of the enigmatic Dane who changed the course of intellectual history.
