About the book: 1969 / BVL - Series 3. Book 42 (169). The novel "Ditte - the Human Child" is an outstanding literary phenomenon of the 20th century. Its author, Martin Andersen Nexo (1869-1954), is a famous Danish communist writer, the founder of national proletarian literature. In all his work, and primarily in his monumental novels “Pelle the Conqueror” (1910), “Ditte the Child of Man” (1921) and “Morten the Red” (1954), ideologically constituting an epic trilogy dedicated to the Danish revolutionary movement, Nexe wrote a new page in the history of national and world literature.
