Relation Toward Books The Danish Girl

Now a major motion picture starring Eddie Redmayne and directed by Tom Hooper, THE DANISH GIRL is a shockingly original novel about one of the most unusual and passionate love stories of the 20th century.
Loosely inspired by a true story, this tender portrait of marriage asks: What do you do when the person you love has to change?

It starts with a question, a simple favour asked by a wife of her husband while both are painting in their studio, setting off a transformation neither can anticipate. Uniting fact and fiction into an original romantic vision, The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the unique intimacy that defines every marriage and the remarkable story of Lili Elbe, a pioneer in transgender history, and the woman torn between loyalty to her marriage and her own ambitions and desires.

The Danish Girl is an evocative and deeply moving novel about one of the most passionate and unusual love stories of the 20th century.

Comment On Out Of Books The Danish Girl

Boring. The real people this book is based on are 1000 times more interesting. Very poor representation of a trans persons' transition. Don't read this book, it's a waste of your time.

The Danish Girl is a delicate, elegant novel about the search for ones true self when ones body, as an external encasement, doesnt mirror what is on the inside; in short, when a man is born a man in body but not in spirit. It is also about what makes a marriage and how far a woman will go to let her husband find his true self, knowing that she will likely lose him in the process. The novel is based on real characters who lived in Copenhagen in the 1920s. The story was groundbreaking at the time

After seeing the film, almost a year ago, I can tell that Mr. Tom Hooper, the director, has done a very good job. His idea to hire Eddie Redmayne was the marvelous thing ever. When you're reading author's descriptions of Einar/Lili, you could see no one but Eddie. I've had no problem reading the book after the film, because they are completely different things and both of them were great.Despite the fact that this book is work of fiction, Einar Wegener was a real person, one of the first

Every year I set a reading goal here on Goodreads and then search Pinterest for a reading challenge list. This year's list has 52 categories in which I need to read by the end of the year. So, obviously I searched for a category in which The Danish Girl would fit. First up was "book about a person with a disability". I know many people think transvestism falls into that category. I balked at that. Eccentric character? Well, since there is a real biological cause, this category was disrespectful.

The Short of It:A non-traditional love story that will stay with you long after you put it down.The Rest of It:I absolutely loved this novel. The novel itself was inspired by the marriage of Einar and Gerda Wegener, both artists living in Copenhagen in 1925. As Einar realizes that he is indeed a woman, seemingly trapped in a man's body, he becomes Lili and the three of them live together as a family of sorts. At first, he dresses as Lili in the privacy of the apartment that he shares with Greta



In this book we witness the gradual transformation of Einar Wegener in Lily Elbe, both physically and psychologically, which is what I enjoyed very much about the novel. The author states in his prologue that it is not intended to be an accurate biography, but a novel, and it is noticeable if we take into consideration that apparently, one of the reasons for the couple Einar-Gerda to move to Paris was that Gerda would be free to live there as an active lesbian; in the book by Ebershoff, she
