Life

His father, the lawyer and politician Carl Friedrich Heiberg , was an illegitimate son of the theater director Friedrich Ludwig Schröder ; his mother was the writer Asta Heiberg . Hermann Heiberg wanted to study law, but gave up the plan because of the political circumstances of his time and did an apprenticeship in bookselling in Kiel . He founded a school book publisher in Schleswig, which he soon gave up. In 1870 he took over the management of the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung in Berlin, and soon after that of the Spenersche Zeitung . He later worked in banking, insurance and mortgage lending and traveled a lot. His first book, Chats with the Duchess of Zealand (1881), was a great sales success and Heiberg made writing his main occupation. In 1892 he moved back to Schleswig.

The work

Heiberg wrote novels and short stories in which his diverse life experiences are processed. People and milieus are designed realistically from their own perspective. The German naturalists saw him as a role model. In a review in 1885, Theodor Fontane praised Heimann's pharmacist Heinrich as “an excellent book that not only equals the English novels in one important and for me decisive point, the magic of the natural , but perhaps even surpasses them (especially Dickens) in one aspect . In the second half a little better, more concentrated and fresher, and we would have had a German model novel in this 'Apotheker Heinrich'. "
