Description
Herman Bang's life was marked by constant movement and persecution. Born in 1857, he fled his homeland due to the Prussian advance in 1864 and later faced hostility for his social critique as a journalist, novelist, actor, and dramaturge. This biography, written by Dorrit Willumsen, reworks Bang's life story through a series of compelling flashbacks that unfold during his final train ride across the USA. The narrative takes us on a journey to various locations, including Copenhagen, Prague, St Petersburg, and Norway, where we encounter key figures from Bang's life. Bang was a pioneering figure in Scandinavia's Modern Breakthrough, leaving behind notable works such as Haabløse Slægter, Stuk, and Tine.
