The Long Journey is a series of six novels by Danish author and poet, Johannes V Jensen, written between 1908 and 1922. The books deal with the author's theories on evolution, backdropped against a description of humanity from pre-Ice Age up to the voyage of Christopher Columbus. The work is fictional, weaving in Jensen's stylistic mythic prose with his personal views on Darwinian evolutionary theory. Translation by A G Chater. Bindings are firm.
