Morten Korch

Morten Korch was born on 17 January 1876 in Over Holluf, near Odense, the son of a schoolteacher. Apprenticed at fourteen to a merchant in Nyborg, he became a partner in an Odense firm, a wholesale merchant from 1903 to 1908, then a publisher on his own account from 1912 to 1916. His first novels, carefully worked, look at their time with a critical eye; the later ones, which won him an immense public, take up the struggle of a pure-hearted hero to win back from the bank his family's property. He died in Hellerup on 8 October 1954.
