One day I wished these letters would come to me; That before I got into a lonely battle with the accumulated experience, I studied the map well. Because I could not see anyone who taught me how to write letters to women and convey to me everything that was going on in the hearts and minds of women. I mustered all the courage to jump from the recipient’s graph to the sender’s graph. I wanted to express what every woman has to say so that they know they are not alone in this country.

Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published in 1905, this astonishing novel juxtaposes impressions of fin-de-siècle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a man besieged by obsession. Lonely and introspective, Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. So when the minister’s beautiful wife complains of her husband’s oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder. A masterpiece of enduring power, Doctor Glas confronts a chilling moral quandary with gripping intensity.
