  Henrik Pontoppidan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pontoppidan's last large novel Mands Himmerig (1927, "Man’s Heaven") is an almost desperate description of the crisis of a Danish intellectual at the time of the outbreak of World War I.
Pontoppidan was a man of many paradoxes: a clear liberal in his time, but a stern patriot, an anti-clerical puritan, a disillusioned fighting nature, collaborating with socialists and communists but always from an independent and individualist position.
Pontoppidan's brother's daughter-in-law was the famous Danish actress Clara Pontoppidan.

 Henrik Pontoppidan
Henrik Pontoppidan was born in the town of Fredericia, on the Jutland Peninsula.
Pontoppidan wanted to create a work, in which a picture of modern Denmark is presented through individuals and their fates in social, religious, and political conflicts.
In 1888 Pontoppidan's first marriage ended when his wife returned to the country to live with her parents - she was a peasant girl with whom Pontoppidan tried to share a Tolstoyan life.

 Henrik Pontoppidan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Realist writer who shared with Karl Gjellerup the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1917 for "his authentic descriptions of present-day life in Denmark." Pontoppidan's novels and short stories--informed with a desire for social progress but despairing, later in his life, of its realization--present an unusually comprehensive picture of his country and his epoch.
The son of a clergyman, Pontoppidan partly revolted against his environment by studying engineering in Copenhagen in 1873.
Pontoppidan's output--mainly novels and short stories written in a cold, aloof, epic style--stretches over half a century and covers most aspects of Danish life.

Henrik Pontoppidan painted in 1913 by the famous Danish painter Michael Ancher
One of my favourite Danish authors is Henrik Pontoppidan (1857-1943) who among a number of important novels wrote the famous Lykke-Per (Lucky Peter).
In 1917, Henrik Pontoppidan wrote himself in his Nobel autobiography: "In a trilogy, Det forjættede Land (1891-95), Lykke-Per (1898-1904), and De Dødes Rige (1912-16), I have attempted to give a continouos picture of the Denmark of today through descriptions of human minds and human fates which reflect the social, religious, and political struggles of time."
