Herman Bang (1857-1912) - the largest representative of Danish prose of the late XIX - early XX centuries. In his best works, Bang acts as a wonderful realist writer, a brilliant master of psychological analysis, a subtle stylist. This collection includes the most famous works of the writer - the socio-psychological novels "By the Road" and "Tina," as well as the stories "Raven," "Freken Kaya," "Four Devils" and "Charlot Dupont," in which the writer with deep irony reveals the predatory, evil psychology of the philistines, hostile to everything noble, pure, talented.
