Johannes Vilhelm Jensen is a famous Danish writer, Nobel Prize laureate.

Jesen’s work is practically unknown to modern Russian readers, while Jensen’s works are constantly republished abroad. Jensen tried to create a colossal panorama of the fate of the Scandinavian tribes - from the Ice Age to the barbarian campaigns against Rome. The epic “The Long Journey” is a brilliant example of “high” literature. The publication of Jensen in Russian is a significant cultural event in the process of Russian book publishing.
