  Hans Egede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Egede (January 31, 1686, Harrestad, Norway–November 5, 1758, Falster, Denmark) was a Norwegian Lutheran missionary, called the Apostle of Greenland.
Egede was an evangelist on the northern Norwegian islands of Lofoten when he heard stories of a green land settled by the Vikings but with which contact had been lost years before.
Hans Egede left his son Paul in Greenland and traveled on 9 August 1736 with its daughters and his son Niels to Copenhagen.

Egede and his few followers left Norway with the explicit intent (and state funding) to find the lost medieval Norse colonists and remind them of their presumably neglected Christian faith.
But, without relinquishing this fantasy of a European utopia somewhere in the High Arctic, Egede's Description negotiates a twenty year missionary encounter with the Greenlandic Inuit, and his conflation of the Noble Savage and the Chosen people in the context is also paradigmatic of Arctic travel writing during the next century.
Like the land, the Native Greenlanders are portrayed as both uniquely challenging and potentially perfect, the most debased of "savages", eating raw meat and not washing from one year to the next, and also the least sinful humans, free of covetousness, holding property in common and respecting their elders.

 Arkiv for Dansk Litteratur - Hans Egede Schack - Forfatterportræt
Hans skønlitterære produktion omfatter hovedværket Phantasterne (1857), for hvis skyld forfatteren er blevet husket, og den ufuldendte roman Sandhed med Modification (1890, 1954) samt kortere prosatexter, der enten henligger uudgivet eller først er blevet udgivet i 1986 (fortællingen "Privatkomedien").
Et gennembrud i forståelsen af romanværket blev opnået ved at betragte dette i lyset af den politisk engagerede forfatters liberalistiske idealer, som han havde fremlagt dem i sine ikke-litterære meningstilkendegivelser.
Dette synspunkt overvinder ikke blot det traditionelle skisma mellem forfatterpersonen og hans skrifter, men lader også den ideologiske konsekvens i disse komme til syne; der bliver dermed i egentlig forstand tale om et forfatterskab.

Hans Egede had made to the Greenlanders, and the kindness he and his wife had shown them, at last had some effect, and they were willing that the missionaries should remain among them.
Ann Egede knew and felt the terrors of her position, but she spoke not to counsel return; now as ever the husband and wife were one in purpose, one in heart.
Egede would have given his own life's blood to have brought one heathen to the knowledge of Christ, but he had a dearer price to pay for this his first mere shadow of success in the path he had chosen.

Egede spoke now in the language of the Eskimos, having long before that time learned to speak it sufficiently well to be understood.
Be this as it may, it is certain that the soul of good Hans Egede became inflamed with a burning desire to go as a missionary to Greenland, and from the time that the desire arose, he never ceased to pray and strive towards the accomplishment of his purpose.
Then people tried to divert Egede from his purpose by picturing to him the dangers of his enterprise; the miseries he must endure; the cruelty of endangering the lives of his wife and children; and lastly, by pointing out the madness of relinquishing a certain for an uncertain livelihood.
