Der alte Hauptmann

The narrative intricately weaves together various independent stories centered around the retired Captain Riis, who is deeply passionate about hunting. Sophus Bauditz, a notable Danish educator, author, and playwright, brings to life the character of Riis through these interconnected tales. Bauditz, who lived from 1850 to 1915, was honored as a Knight of the Dannebrog Order and received the Dannebrog Medal for his contributions to literature and education.
