“Bruce H. Kirmmse has produced an impressive translation… . This is not only an accomplishment that commands respect, but is also an occasion for plain delight. Kierkegaard is rejoicing in his grave.” – Joakim Garff, author of Søren Kierkegaard: A Biography“Bruce H. Kirmmse conveys the vigor and lucidity of Kierkegaard’s original text as it persuasively guides us to the paradoxical message of hope that emerges from the Dane’s unequalled analysis of despair.” – George Pattison, author of Kierkegaard and the Quest for Unambiguous Life
