It is the story of a young archeologist who suffered a very characteristic mental disturbance and was gradually but effectively cured by a kind of native psychotherapeutic instinct, which probably inheres in all of us, but which in this case was found in the girl he formerly loved but had forgotten, and who restored at the same time his health and his old affection for her. Jensen's brilliant and unique story of Gradiva has not only literary merit of very high order, but may be said to open up a new field for romance.
