Tine by Herman Bang

"Tine" by Herman Bang is a Danish historical novel published in 1889. Set during the 1864 Danish-Prussian War, it follows Tine, a village woman secretly in love with the married military officer Berg. As war devastates their community—bringing soldiers, casualties, and the catastrophic defeat at Dybbøl—their forbidden relationship intensifies amid the chaos. Bang's stark portrayal of war's horrors challenged Denmark's romantic heroic traditions, marking a pivotal work of the Modern Breakthrough movement that reshaped how a nation understood its most painful defeat.
