God's Smile is a novel written by Julius Magnussen and was first published in 1920. The book is set in Denmark and revolves around the life of a young man named Johannes, who is struggling to find meaning and purpose in his life. The story begins with Johannes as a young boy, growing up in a strict religious household. He is taught to fear God and to believe that everything that happens in his life is predetermined by God's will. As he grows older, Johannes becomes increasingly disillusioned with his faith and begins to question the existence of God. Johannes' life takes a turn when he falls in love with a young woman named Anna. Anna is a free-spirited artist who encourages Johannes to explore his own creativity and to live life on his own terms. However, their relationship is not without its challenges, as Johannes' religious beliefs and Anna's unconventional lifestyle clash. Throughout the book, Johannes grapples with his own beliefs and struggles to reconcile them with his desire for a fulfilling life. He begins to see the world in a new light and realizes that there is beauty and joy to be found in everyday experiences. God's Smile is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, love, and the search for meaning in life. Magnussen's writing is lyrical and poetic, and he creates a vivid and evocative portrait of life in Denmark in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
