Ljubavlju opsjednuti

The novel's main character (often unnamed in the Scandinavian tradition of psychological prose) is an intelligent, educated man, but emotionally unstable. He develops a deep, all-pervading obsession with a woman who simultaneously attracts and repels him. His love becomes not only a source of happiness, but also of suffering - it turns into an emotional addiction.

Through interior monologues and complex interpersonal relationships, Stigen shows how love can become an obsession, violating a person's freedom, reason, and identity. The character slowly loses touch with reality, and the boundaries between true love and self-deception become increasingly blurred.
