Wikipedia
Martin Andersen Nexø (26 June 1869 – 1 June 1954) was a Danish writer. He was one of the authors in the Modern Breakthrough movement. More precisely, he was part of "Det Folkelige Gennembrud" (transl. the popular breakthrough) of the 1890s–1920s, a movement dominated by writers from a shallow social background in Danish art and literature.
Nexø was a socialist throughout his life. During the Second World War, he moved to the Soviet Union, and afterwards to Dresden in East Germany. However, Nexø was never a doctrinate Marxist; his perspective was primarily driven by social outrage combined with humanism and even religious idealism.
