About this eBook

Author Bang, Herman, 1857-1912
Title Haabløse Slægter
Credits Produced by Steen Christensen, Heidi Christensen and PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "Haabløse Slægter" by Herman Bang is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of the Høg family, tracing their lineage from nobility to mediocrity and the ensuing challenges faced by its members in a changing society, with a particular focus on the character of Ludvig Høg, who embodies the tensions of creativity, societal expectations, and personal turmoil. At the start of the novel, the narrator introduces the audience to a once-prominent family whose glory has faded over time. The family's history is sketched through the eccentricities and struggles of its members, particularly the father, Ludvig, who is seen grappling with personal demons while attempting to uphold family prestige. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to Stella, a younger woman who becomes intricately tied to Ludvig’s fate, adding layers to the family's already complex dynamics. The opening sets the tone for a story that delves deep into themes of identity, legacy, and the constraints of societal mores, hinting at the emotional turmoil that will likely follow.
