Papa Hamlet by Bjarne P. Holmsen
"Papa Hamlet" by Bjarne P. Holmsen is a three-part story collection published in 1889. The title novella follows Niels Thienwiebel, a destitute, unemployed actor who clings to memories of his greatest role as Hamlet. Living in squalor with his wife Amalie and infant son Fortinbras, Niels obsessively quotes Shakespeare while refusing менее prestigious work. As poverty deepens and delusions intensify, the family spirals into neglect and despair. This pioneering work of German
literary naturalism employs the "Sekundenstil" technique, where narrative time matches real time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
