| Summary | "Excentriske Noveller" by Herman Bang is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The narratives explore themes of desire, identity, and the complexities of human relationships, often highlighting the lives of individuals who exist on the fringes of societal norms. Prominent in the opening is the character Franz Pander, a sensitive and delicate young boy who navigates a world that simultaneously fascinates and alienates him, reflecting the book's engagement with themes of beauty and longing. The opening of the collection introduces Franz Pander, a boy raised by his mother, Madam Pander, after his father, a carpenter, likely drank himself to death. As Franz grows up, he is characterized by his striking looks and refined tastes, which set him apart from other boys in his neighborhood, leading to the nickname "the Virgin." While other boys indulge in typical childhood games, Franz finds himself captivated by the world of luxury and beauty that surrounds him, particularly the opulent lives of the ladies he observes from afar. As he begins to work in a restaurant, his longing for a glamorous life intensifies, especially as he becomes infatuated with an English girl named Miss Ellinor. The tension of his desires and the harsh reality of his existence sets the stage for a poignant exploration of self and society as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
