Barbara
GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. Barbara is a Faroese Moll Flanders, a woman of insatiable sexual desire which leads her from one man to another in search of sexual gratification. There is a highly successful Danish feature film of the novel. Jorgen-Frantz Jacobsen's novel combines the action of an old Faroese ballad about a woman who led three clergymen husbands to their destruction and the author's own experience of a woman with whom he was in love, but who proved elusive in the manner of the fictitious Barbara. The novel was unfinished when Jacobsen died, and it was left to, his friend and fellow author, William Heinesen to tie up a small number of loose ends.
Barbara
Originally written in Danish, Barbara was the only novel written by the Faroese author Jorgen-Frantz Jacobsen (1900-38). On the face of it, Barbara is a straightforward historical romance: it contains a story of passion in an exotic setting with overtones of semi-piracy; there is a powerful erotic element, an outsider who breaks up a marriage, and a built-in inevitability resulting from Barbara's own psychological make-up. She stands as one of the most complex female characters in modem Scandinavian literature: beautiful, passionate, devoted, amoral, and uncomprehending of her own tragedy. Jorgen-Frantz Jacobsen portrays her with fascinated devotion.

Trods sin unge alder har den smukke færøske præsteenke Barbara allerede måttet begrave to mænd. Da en ny præst kommer til øen fra Danmark, drages han af den erotiske ild, der brænder i Barbara, og som fortærer både hende og de mænd, der kommer i nærheden af hende. Den strenge præst har imidlertid svært ved at acceptere sin forelskelse i en så upassende og vild kvinde, og hans splittelse mellem sit troskab over for Gud og sin voldsomme tiltrækning af Barbara truer med at blive hans undergang.
