About This Podcast

The first part of Pelle Erobreren (Pelle the Conqueror), published in 1906, introduced readers to Martin Andersen Nexo, an author who was largely unknown at the time, even in Denmark. Born in 1869 in one of Copenhagens poorest districts, Nexos formative years were spent on the idyllic island of Bornholm, where he worked as a shoemakers apprentice—just like his character Pelle in the book. After a stint as a bricklayer, Nexos passion for learning led him to a respected peoples high school, where his dedication allowed him to become a teacher in both a provincial school and later in Copenhagen. Pelle is divided into four parts, each functioning as a self-contained story. The narrative unfolds with Pelles rural childhood in Bornholm, transitions to his apprenticeship in a quaint town untouched by modern industry, follows his struggles in Copenhagen against employers and societal constraints, and culminates in his triumph in establishing a garden city for his fellow workers. While the backdrop is the burgeoning labor movement, the narrative focuses on the human experience, capturing the essence of the working-class struggle without overwhelming the reader with social issues. Nexos intimate understanding of the poor—gained from living among them—infuses the story with authenticity and depth. His rich imagination allows for a swift progression through scenes, each vividly characterized. Pelle has resonated deeply with Danish readers and possesses the power to captivate a much wider audience beyond its homeland.
