Herman Joachim Bang (1858-1912) was a Danish journalist, author and playwright. His book, Families without Hope, was considered obscene upon its publication in 1880 and was banned. Although victimized by smear campaigns due to his homosexuality, Bangs became one of the foremost Scandinavian novelists. Called by Claude Monet “the first impressionist author in the world,” Bangs traveled widely, and died during a lecture tour in the United States at Ogden, Utah on January 29, 1912.
This short story concerns the author’s conception of art when dealing with life.
