Om denne bog

Social realism and fairy tale combine in Lucky Per, a bildungsroman about the ambitious son of a clergyman who rejects his faith and flees a restricted life in rural Jutland for Denmark''s capital city. Per is a gifted young man who firmly believes that ''you had to hunt down luck as if it were a wild creature, a crooked-fanged beast ... and capture and bind it''. He falls in with Copenhagen''s Jewish community, and falls for Jakobe Salomon, a wealthy heiress, who is not only the strongest character in the book but among the great Jewish heroines of European literature.
Per becomes obsessed with a grand engineering scheme that he believes will both reshape Denmark''s landscape and correct its minor position in the world. Eventually personal and his career ambitions alike come to grief. At the heart of Lucky Per lies the question of the relationship of ''luck'' to ''happiness'' (the Danish word in the title can have both meanings), a relationship which Per comes to view differently by the end of his life.
