Hans Christian Branner
Hans Christian Branner (born June 23, 1903 in Ordrup , † April 24, 1966 in Copenhagen ) was a Danish writer .
Life
Hans Christian Branner lost his father at an early age. He only studied for a short time and then worked from 1923 to 1931 as a warehouse manager in a publishing house . He made several attempts to start an acting career, but all of them failed. From 1932 he worked as a freelance writer.
Branner wrote complex psychological novels and short stories that were strongly influenced by Virginia Woolf , where he technically preferred to use the "Stream of Consciousness" method to address the isolation of people. In an intensive way, he addressed fears and the ever-new conflict between power and conscience.
He also wrote humorous, ironic, simply structured plays and stories that have strong references to Henrik Ibsen's technique . In his essays and radio plays , Branner emphatically represented humanistic ideals.
“In the field of radio plays, Branner's Illusion was probably one of the greatest and most lasting international successes that a radio text ever achieved” ( Reclam's radio play guide ). In addition to his work as a writer, he has translated British and American novels into Danish.
