Branner, Hans Christian

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Branner, Hans Christian (1903-1966)

Danish novelist and dramatist. Much of his writing is connected with World War II; it includes the two long stories Angst (1944) and Bjergene/The Mountains (1953) and the novels Rytteren/The Riding Master (1949) and Ingen kender Natten/No Man Knows the Night (1955). He also wrote many fine short stories.

His early collective novel Legetøj/Toys (1936) depicts the economic crisis and political unease of Denmark in the 1930s. Angst and Bjergene portray the anguish of the writer who sits passively by while others suffer; Rytteren is concerned with the conflict of humanism and dictatorship, and Ingen kender Natten is a study of different milieus during the German occupation.
