Johannes Vilhelm Jensen (commonly known as Johannes V. Jensen; 20 January 1873 – 25 November 1950) was a Danish author, often considered the first great Danish writer of the 20th century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1944 "for the rare strength and fertility of his poetic imagination with which is combined an intellectual curiosity of wide scope and a bold, freshly creative style". One of his sisters, Thit Jensen, was also a well-known writer and a very vocal, and occasionally controversial, early feminist.
Johannes V. Jensen kalder selv denne lille bog for sine memoirer, idet den bringer hans erindringer om de store åndelige bevægelser i det nittende århundrede, som endnu har betydning for vor tid. Men han kunne også have kaldt den for sit manifest, thi man får i virkeligheden her hele hans livsopfattelse, således som man ikke finder den samlet noget andet sted i hans rige produktion. Han fremhæver fem førende navne og deres ideer: Goethe, Hegel, Karl Marx, Taine og Darwin. Hovedrepræsentanterne for litteratur, filosofi, politik, økonomi, åndsvidenskab og Naturvidenskab. Den lille aktuelle åndshistorie er forsynet med seks portrætter.
