{"product_id":"barbara-2","title":"Barbara","description":"Barbara, originally written in Danish, was the only novel by the Faroese author Jørgen-Franz Jacobsen (1900 - 1938), and yet it quickly achieved international best-seller status and is still one of the best-loved twentieth century classics in Danish and Faroese literature. On the face of it, Barbara is a straightforward historical novel in the mode of many a so-called ''romance''. It contains a story of passion in an exotic setting with overtones of semi-piracy; there is a powerful erotic element, an outsider who breaks up a marriage, and a built-in inevitability resulting from Barbara''s own psychological make-up. She stands as one of the most complex female characters in modern Scandinavian literature: beautiful, passionate, innocent, devoted, amoral and uncomprehending of her own tragedy. Jørgen-Franz Jacobsen portrays her with a fascinated devotion.","brand":"Norvik Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57667953000783,"sku":"9781909408074","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781909408074_1-barbara.jpg?v=1778527336","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/barbara-2","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
