This is the story of a unique and unforgettable couple: Madelene, an upperclass beauty and alcoholic; and Erasmus, a 300-lb. ape. Their love affair is as emotionally and erotically charged as any female-male relationship can be. A fable for our time, this book combines the farcical humor of a Marx Brothers movie with the magic of a fairy tale and the pace of a thriller. Peter Høeg is the author of the highly acclaimed Smilla’s Sense of Snow, which was recently made into a motion picture.

Through a series of vividly imagined characters, Høeg gives us a very different account of the twentieth century, which in Denmark encompasses the transition from a medieval society to a modern welfare state with its accompanying cultural revolutions. The cast includes a count who stops his clocks to prevent the passage of time; an elderly woman who helms a newspaper dynasty and accurately predicts the future in print without ever learning to read and write; and Adonis Jensen, who causes his vagabond parents great sorrow through his inability to steal. 4 cassette tapes abridged. Playing time approximately 6 hours.
