  'Utterly, agonisingly compulsive ... a masterpiece' Liz Jensen, Guardian The first volume in The Copenhagen Trilogy, the searing portrait of a woman's journey through love, friendship, ambition and addiction, from one of Denmark's most celebrated twentieth-century writers Tove knows she is a misfit, whose childhood is made for a completely different girl. In her working-class neighbourhood in Copenhagen, she is enthralled by her wild, red-headed friend Ruth, who initiates her into adult secrets. But Tove cannot reveal her true self to her or to anyone else. For 'long, mysterious words begin to crawl across my soul', and she comes to realize that she has a vocation, something unknowable within her - and that she must one day, painfully but inevitably, leave the narrow street of her childhood behind. Childhood, the first volume in The Copenhagen Trilogy, is a visceral portrait of girlhood and female friendship, told with lyricism and vivid intensity.

  „Von atemberaubender Intensität und Schönheit. Aus dem Staub ihres Lebens leuchtet dieses Werk.“ Elke Heidenreich, Spiegel Online In „Abhängigkeit“ schreibt Tove Ditlevsen offen und absolut gegenwärtig über ihr Leben als Frau, Schriftstellerin und Mutter, über Liebe, Freundschaft und die Verlockungen der Sucht. Die Geschichte einer Befreiung, und das eindringliche Porträt einer Frau – verletzlich, souverän, eigenständig. „Unmittelbar und ergreifend.“ The Guardian „Hart und zärtlich, von grandioser Schönheit.“ The Spectator „Das Porträt einer Frau, die ihr Leben entschieden zu ihrem eigenen macht. Ein Leben, so frei und ungestüm, ich bin versunken in Tove Ditlevsens Büchern.“ Nina Hoss „Tove Ditlevsens Kopenhagen-Trilogie, so viel steht jetzt schon fest, ist eines der großen literarischen Ereignisse des Jahres.„ Süddeutsche Zeitung „Drei schmale Bände, eine monumentale Autorin.“ Patti Smith „Großartig, von hypnotischer Qualität.“ The New York Times „Was Autorinnen wie Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk und Deborah Levy heute tun, hat Tove Ditlevsen schon vor über 50 Jahren getan. Autobiographisches Schreiben, vor dem man sich verneigen möchte. Endlich, endlich ist Ditlevsens Trilogie auf Deutsch zu lesen!” Emilia von Senger, She said

  The final volume in the renowned Danish poet Tove Ditlevsen’s autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy ("A masterpiece" —The Guardian). Following Childhood and Youth, Dependency is the searing portrait of a woman’s journey through love, friendship, ambition, and addiction, from one of Denmark’s most celebrated twentieth century writers Tove is only twenty, but she's already famous, a published poet, and the wife of a much older literary editor. Her path in life seems set, yet she has no idea of the struggles ahead—love affairs, wanted and unwanted pregnancies, artistic failure, and destructive addiction. As the years go by, the central tension of Tove's life comes into painful focus: the terrible lure of dependency, in all its forms, and the possibility of living freely and fearlessly—as an artist on her own terms. The final volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, and arguably Ditlevsen's masterpiece, Dependency is a dark and blisteringly honest account of addiction, and the way out.

  The acclaimed Danish poet Tove Ditlevsen’s autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy ("A masterpiece" —The Guardian) continues with Youth. Following Childhood, this second volume finds the young author consumed in trials by fire that only fuel her relentless passion for artistic freedom—placing her on a devastating and destructive path recounted in the final volume, Dependency. Forced to leave school early, Tove embarks on a checkered career in a string of low-paid, menial jobs. But she is hungry: for poetry, for love, for real life to begin. As Europe slides into war, she must navigate exploitative bosses, a Nazi landlady, and unwelcome sexual encounters on the road to hard-won independence. Yet she remains ruthlessly determined in the pursuit of her poetic vocation—until at last the miracle she has always dreamed of appears to be within reach. Youth, the second volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, is a strikingly honest and immersive portrait of adolescence, filled with biting humor, vulnerability, and poeticism.
