Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Comedies by Holberg: Jeppe of the Hill, the Political Tinker, Erasmus Montanus Ludvig Holberg is generally considered the most remarkable of Danish writers. Though he produced books on international law, finance, and history, as well as satires, biographies, and moral essays, he is chiefly celebrated for his comedies, which still - nearly two hundred years after their composition - delight large audiences in Denmark, and bid fair to be immortal. These comedies were the fruit of the author´s actual experience; they are closely related to his other works and reflect the range and diversity of his pursuits. To understand fully Holberg´s creations, one must first become acquainted with the events of his life. Ludvig Holberg was born in Bergen, December 3, 1684, of good parentage on both sides. His mother was a granddaughter of a distinguished bishop, and his father an army officer who had risen from the ranks by personal merit. Bergen had long been a trading-post of the Hanseatic League, and in the seventeenth century was distinctly cosmopolitan in character. Perhaps as a result of his environment, Holberg seemed early to have acquired a desire to travel. In any case, he devoted most of the years of his young manhood to seeing the world. In 1704, shortly after receiving his degree at the University of Copenhagen, he made a journey to the Netherlands. About a year later, he went to England, where he spent more than two years, partly in Oxford and partly in London, studying history and absorbing new ideas. In 1708, as the tutor of a young Danish boy, he visited Dresden, Leipzig, and Halle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
