This book begins with a review of Two Ages, the last novel by Thomasine Gyllembourg who was the mother of Johan Ludvig Heiberg, one of Kierkegaard’s regular targets for ridicule. The second part of this work has been translated as The Present Age and represents “one of Keirkegaard’s intensest and most brilliant pieces of writing, and the transitional work between the ‘Authorship’ and Kierkegaard’s later religio-political works.” (Wronoski, p. 20)

CONDITION: Very good in original blue cardboard covers, with spine label still intact. Chpping along spine edges, and wear to boards. Light brownspotting/foxing internally, and very small, inked initials to top corner of title page, else a very good or better copy all in original condition.
