The text offers a detailed look at the author's life, written in the formal and structured Danish typical of the late nineteenth century. You will encounter complex sentence structures and a sophisticated vocabulary that reflects the intellectual tone of the era. It is a demanding read, as it requires patience to navigate the long, reflective passages. The book focuses on personal history, professional life, and the challenges of editing extensive memoirs.

Questions about this book

What level of Danish do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 10 h 25 min at a native pace, spread over 26 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
