(Katinka is the stationmaster's wife in a sleepy Danish pr...)
Katinka is the stationmaster's wife in a sleepy Danish provincial town and her domestic languor is disrupted by the arrival of Huus, the new foreman on a nearby farm. Unlike her boorish husband Huus is attentive and sensitive and despite her best efforts Katinka falls in love with him. Her whole life is turned upside down by an intense passion she had never expected to experience and which has unforeseen consequences. Katinka is another of Herman Bang's tragic heroines. In its impressionistic almost cinematic style it is a novel ahead of its time.

Diese Ausgabe von "Das weiße Haus" wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Herman Joachim Bang (1857/1912) war ein dänischer Schriftsteller und Journalist. Aus dem Buch: "Tage der Kindheit, euch will ich zurückrufen, Zeiten ohne Schuld, freundliche Zeiten, eurer will ich gern gedenken. Meiner Mutter leichte Schritte werden durch helle Stuben klingen, und Menschen, die jetzt unter der Last des Lebens ergraut sind, werden lachen wie einst, als sie ihr Schicksal nicht kannten. Die Toten sollen wieder mit sanften Stimmen reden, und alte Lieder werden sich in den Chor der Erinnerungen mischen..."

Herman Bang (1857 1912) was a Danish author, one of the men of the Modern Breakthrough. Bang is primarily concerned with the "quiet existences", the disregarded and ignored people living boring and apparently unimportant lives. This volume includes his famous retelling of the Phaedra myth.

(W. Glyn Jones' masterful translation allows us to read in...)
W. Glyn Jones' masterful translation allows us to read in English for the first time one of the neglected classics of Scandinavian Literature. Ida Brandt is the classic outsider. Not acceptable to the Danish aristocratic circle she was brought up around and too moneyed for her nursing colleagues at the hospital. She is good looking and gentle, generous and kind and her trusting nature is betrayed by the people around her. Herman Bang takes us into Ida's world, he does not comment, let alone criticise and leaves the reader to judge. It is a novel ahead of its time in its impressionistic, almost cinematic style.

(Tine, die Tochter des Küsters auf einer malerischen dänis...)
Tine, die Tochter des Küsters auf einer malerischen dänischen Ostseeinsel, ist bei dem jungen Ehepaar Berg ein gern und häufig gesehener Gast. Doch dann bricht jäh der deutsch-dänische Krieg von 1864 in die Idylle ein: Tines friedliches Heimatdorf liegt plötzlich am Rand eines Schlachtfelds, Flüchtlinge und Verwundete werden einquartiert, während der Kanonendonner immer näher rückt. Inmitten der spannungsgeladenen Atmosphäre wird sich Tine ihrer lange verdrängten Gefühle für Berg bewusst. Hermann Bang, dänischer Schriftsteller, geboren am 20.4.1857 auf Alsen, gestorben am 29.1.1912 in Ogden (Utah, USA) auf einer Vortragsreise. Schon früh war Herman Bang der bedeutendste dänische Journalist seiner Zeit, aber auch sehr kontrovers diskutiert. Er lebte das Leben eines Dandys, inszenierte sich als Gesamtkunstwerk nach dem Vorbild von Huysmans und Wilde; seine homosexuellen Neigungen zeigte er auch öffentlich, was ihm Anfeindungen und Isolation in Dänemark eintrug. Herman Bang war der bedeutendste dänische Vertreter des literarischen Impressionismus.

He was born on the island of Als, April 20, 1857, the son of a South Jutlandic vicar. His family history was marked by insanity and disease.
As a student at the University of Copenhagen he began writing short stories and critical essays, publishing in 1879 his first novel, Haablose Slogter ("Hopeless Generations").
The latter won for its author the friendship of Henrik Ibsen and the enthusiastic admiration of Jonas Lie. Among his other works are Det hvide Hus (The White House, 1898), Excentriske Noveller (Eccentric Stories, 1885), Stille Eksistenser (Quiet Existences, 1886), Liv og Død (Life and Death, 1899), Englen Michael (The Angel Michael, 1902), a volume of poems (1889), and recollections, Ti Aar (Ten Years, 1891).
Failed as an actor, Bang earned fame as a theatre producer in Paris and in Copenhagen. He was a very productive journalist, writing for Danish, Nordic and German newspapers, developing modern reporting. His article on the fire at Christiansborg Palace is a landmark in Danish journalism.
Bang is primarily concerned with the "quiet existences", the disregarded and ignored people living boring and apparently unimportant lives. He is especially interested in describing lonely or isolated women. Ved Vejen (Katinka, 1886) describes the secret and never fulfilled passion of a young wife of a stationmaster, living in a barren marriage. Tine (1889), which has the war with Prussia in 1864 (the Second War of Schleswig) as background, tells the tragic love story of a young girl on the island of Als. Stuk (Stucco, 1887) tells the story of a young man's love affair that is fading away without any real explanation, against the background of the "Gründerzeit" of Copenhagen and its superficial modernization and economic speculation. In Ludvigsbakke (1896) a young nurse squanders her love on a spineless childhood friend, who eventually deserts her in order to save his estate by marrying a rich heiress.
Some of his books, including Tina and Katinka (English titles), have been translated into many languages and filmed. Bang's 1902 novel Mikaël, based on the life of Auguste Rodin, proved especially popular for adaptations in the silent era, having been made into two films: 1916's The Wings, directed by Mauritz Stiller, and 1924's Michael, directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer.
Bang's works earned him renown as a leading European impressionist writer. Bang's last years were embittered by persecutions and declining health. He traveled widely in Europe, and during a lecture tour of the United States he was taken ill on the train and died in Ogden, Utah.

Bang was homosexual, a fact which contributed to his isolation in the cultural life of Denmark and made him the victim of smear campaigns. He lived most of his life with his sister but found happiness for a few years with the German actor Max Eisfeld (1863–1935), with whom he lived in Prague in 1885–86.
