About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Elias Martin, Edvard Munch and Caspar David Friedrich. Two students in Copenhagen, one born in a prison — the letters O.T. are branded on his shoulder, and they stand for Odense Tugthus, the house of correction — and the shame he cannot outrun through a life of learning and society. Andersen was a cobbler's son who arrived in Copenhagen at fourteen with nothing and was educated at the king's expense; his novels are almost forgotten behind the tales, and this one is about being marked for life. Fifty-six plates of painting from 1762 to 1907, among them works by Edvard Munch and Anders Zorn, carry the story's themes of family, shame, and the mark of origin.
