Title Fædra: Brudstykker af et Livs Historie
Credits Produced by Steen Christensen, Heidi Christensen and PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "Fædra: Brudstykker af et Livs Historie" by Herman Bang is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Maag family, notably focusing on the characters of Erik Maag and his daughter Ellen, detailing themes of loss, legacy, and the complexities of familial relationships. At the start of the novel, the Maag family’s legacy is introduced, detailing their once-grand estate of Thorsholm and the decline of their fortune. The narrative unfolds the tragic tales of Erik Maag’s lineage, mentioning his mother Ellen who suffered from a deep sadness following a brief romance with a prince, and Erik’s own unfulfilling marriage to Marie. Upon Marie’s death, which leaves Erik in grief, the focus shifts to their daughter Ellen as she navigates her childhood and develops under the shadow of her ancestors. The opening sets a tone of melancholy as it explores the impact of familial heritage and the burdens placed upon Ellen, foreshadowing the challenges she will face as she grows up amidst the remnants of her family's past.
