Complete edition (Parts I to IV): I. Boyhood; II. Apprenticeship;
III. The Great Struggle; IV. Daybreak. Martin Andersen Nexo
(1869-1954) was born in the slums of Copenhagen into extreme
poverty. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father, a stone
mason, was an alcoholic and his mother was a daughter of a
blacksmith. When he was eight, the family moved to the town of Nexo
on the island of Bornholm, whose name he adopted in 1894 as his
own. His breakthrough work, the Danish classic Pelle the Conqueror,
appeared between 1906 (Part I) and 1910 (Part IV). It tells the
story of Pelle, a poor boy, whose life in Part I shares much
similarities with Nex's. "The great charm of the book lies in the
fact that the writer knows the poor from within; he has not studied
them as an outsider may, but has lived with them and felt with
them, at once a participant and a keen-eyed spectator. He is no
sentimentalist, and so rich is his imagination that he passes on
rapidly from one scene to the next, sketching often in a few pages
what another novelist would be content to work out into long
chapters or whole volumes. His sympathy is of the widest, and he
makes us see tragedies behind the little comedies, and comedies
behind the little tragedies, of the seemingly sordid lives of the
working people whom he loves." (Otto Jespersen) "Pelle" has
conquered the hearts of the reading public of Denmark and of the
world. The first part of the book was filmed by Bille August; in
1989 the film won the Academy Award as Best Foreign Language Film.

From the author of Pelle the Conqueror: Martin Andersen Nexo
(1869-1954): Ditte Everywoman is a long rich work in three volumes,
full of the kind of poetic detail found only in books like Gorki's
and O'Casey's autobiographies; it has been generally unobtainable
in this country for a long time now. It is a first-rate novel
interpreting a working woman's life. In the first volume of the
trilogy, Ditte is truly Girl Alive-alive to all the bittersweet
experiences of life in a poor family struggling for survival. The
locale is Denmark, peasant country, at the beginning of the 20th
century. But it becomes sharply here and now by virtue of Nexo's
masterful understanding of social forces. The second and third
volumes (Daughter of Man, and Towards The Stars) carry Ditte into
maturity from her servant days at the Hill Farm to work in the
capital city, Copenhagen. Martin Andersen Nexo's writing is
magnificent throughout: the giant simplicity of an enduring folk
tale. And without any overt psychologizing, he probes deep into his
characters. Ditte, growing up to young womanhood, is revealed in
her complexities, her doubts and her rainbow joys. She participates
in all experiences, hers is no shallow stream of consciousness, but
a plunging into the moving current of life. She becomes
truly-Ditte, Everywoman.
