Herman Bang (1857–1912)
Autor de A un lado del camino
Sobre El Autor
Both an astute literary critic and a master prose stylist, Herman Bang was born in Denmark in 1857. His style has been described as impressionistic. With a few literary brush strokes, Bang is able to paint sensitive psychological portraits. Bang was not as optimistic as his colleagues about the mostrar más Modern Breakthrough, the rejection of nineteenth-century perspectives for modern progress. His characters are often gentle individuals crushed by circumstances. Bang's propensity for depicting declining noble families makes him a major precursor of literary decadence and fin de siecle pessimism. Although he enjoyed great popularity abroad, particularly in Germany, Bang's success at home in Denmark was hampered by a competition with the critics Georg Branes and Edvard Brandes. Several books have been written about Bang in the Scandinavian countries; none have yet appeared in English. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

She also notices the meanness of her servants who are appalled by her disfigurements but who think she does not notice. A servant who looks at her as if she looked at a “cadaver at the waterfront”. She retaliates in small ways like calling for a servant who she knows is busy.
In typical Bang style the story is told almost completely through dialogues that are splendid in the way they let the reader see the machinations, hints, and subtle sexuality, both straight and gay of the characters.
And striking: published in 1903 and already phones are lamented:
‘I at least need a room without a telephone now and then.’
William Ask said: ‘There are people who just cannot do without those chimes.’
Bella smiled. ‘That’s true’, she said, ‘but it remains a nuisance when you are reading.’
A fine novella by a great writer.… (más)
