Gradiva: A Pompeiian Fancy is a novel written by Wilhelm Jensen and first published in 1918. The story is set in Pompeii and follows the protagonist, Norbert Hanold, a young archaeologist who becomes obsessed with a bas-relief of a woman named Gradiva. Hanold believes that Gradiva is a real person and becomes determined to find her. He eventually travels to North Africa where he meets a woman who he believes to be Gradiva. The novel explores themes of love, obsession, and the power of the imagination. It is considered a classic of early 20th-century German literature and has been adapted into various forms of media, including a silent film in 1923 and a play in 2003.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
