Le visiteur royal | Henrik PONTOPPIDAN

In an effort to read Nobel Prize winners I haven't encountered before, I am starting the only book by Henrik Pontoppidan (nobelised in 1917) my library has.

Ruthiella Wow! That is quite a challenge. So many of the early winners are obscure now. 1y
Dilara @Ruthiella Well to be honest, I'm not very assiduous... I tend to check the Nobel list from time to time and see if there's a name that appeals at that moment, or that could also be used for another challenge, such as Food & Lit.

Pontopiddan was unknown to me until I researched him after placing a hold for his book at the library. Turns out his masterpiece, A Fortunate Man, was made into a Netflix film in 2018!
