Book Description | The novel "Demolition" by Tom Christensen deals with the life of a famous poet and journalist working for the largest Danish newspaper, living a stable life, with a fixed income, a family and children, and a luxurious apartment, who suddenly decided to destroy his life. This decision, as we will see, goes beyond the character of personal rebellion to the turmoil of an entire time period. The events of the novel take place in a period in Danish history, during which many political, economic and social changes took place, which is the period between the two wars, which European literature has extensively covered. The novel was considered a document of what was called the lost interwar generation, and its reflections appeared clearly throughout the chapters of the novel, represented in an enjoyable and accurate review of the city's rhythm and pulse, in the late twenties. The novel is considered one of the wonderful classic works of Danish literature. In addition to the precise details it provides about the hero's condition, it deals with a deep analysis of the doubt that afflicts a person in his search for the truth, the meaning of his existence and its importance. What is the meaning and role of religion? Does Catholicism differ in its view of man? And what brings man closer to Christ? Is it his drunkenness and withdrawal? Or his religious faith? |
