[EAN: 9780804423427], [PU: Frederick Ungar], LITERATURE TRANSLATED DENMARK SCANDINAVIA, New York. 1979. Frederick Ungar. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0804423423. Translated from the Danish by H. Wayne Schow. 276 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Jacqueline Schuman. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Martin A. Hansen (1909-1955), the greatest Danish writer of his generation, has only slowly come to the attention of the reading public in English-speaking countries. These arresting stories, here in English for the first time, should bring Hansen the international audience he richly deserves. His stories, often autobiographical, are powerful, sometimes disturbing. The reader is drawn in quickly and held, to often startling conclusions. All the stories are very effective when read aloud, which is the way Hansen tested them himself. Even more than the novels-two of which have been published in English - the stories show Hansen's versatility and his encompassing humor. ‘The Soldier and the Girl' is amusing but ultimately mysterious, as a young man spiritually scarred by war seeks a private appointment with death. In ‘The Birds,' a playful yet serious tale of an inept priest, strength emerges from a certain kind of weakness. Like Thomas Mann, Martin A. Hansen felt a responsibility both to society and to the artist's calling. He was a distinguished editor, an influential teacher, and an active resistance fighter in the Danish underground during World War II. Hansen's stories beat, with the pulse of Denmark, but they touch on universal themes. They will stay in the reader's memory. H. Wayne Schow supplies an informative introduction on Hansen as a prelude to his fine translations Professor Schow, whose great-grandfather was Danish, has lived in Denmark and earlier wrote on Hansen's novel THE LIAR, He is now Director of English Graduate Studies at Idaho State University. inventory #28475, Books<
