Tine
About this book
"Tine" by Herman Bang is a Danish historical novel published in 1889. Set during the Danish-Prussian War of 1864, it follows Tine, a woman secretly in love with the married military officer Berg. As soldiers fill her village and the catastrophic Battle of Dybbøl unfolds, Tine becomes entangled in a brief, passionate affair. Bang's unflinching portrayal of war's brutality and personal devastation broke with Denmark's romantic heroic traditions, making this a landmark work that challenged national myths about defeat and sacrifice.
