Barbara is one of the great love novels in Nordic literature. It is from 1939, written by Faroese Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen and tells the story of the Danish theologian Poul's erotic obsession with Barbara, Thorshavn's legendary femme fatale. She is known locally as a notorious seductress and infamous for her stormy relationships with men. Men like Danish-Protestant Poul, who is lifted for a time on the roaring waves of love and then drowns in the dark madness of disappointed desire.
