Soren Kierkegaard

(Romina) #1

  1. Berlingske politiske og Avertissements-Tidende, Friday morning, November 16, 1855.
    Peter Christian Kierkegaard’s obituary for his little brother who died young appears in a chaos of
    entirely prosaic announcements, ranging from Havana cigars to reasonably priced cloaks to French “ce-
    ment steel pens.” The right-hand column contains an offer for a French preparation for ladies “whose
    appearance is disfigured with hair that grows low upon the forehead.” Just under the obituary for the
    country’s most important thinker is a “Missing” advertisement for a “little red and white male dog of
    the English race with a white chest and white legs.” The runaway dog answers to the name Pion, and
    someone in Sølvgade “promises a good reward for its recovery.”
