Written in 1928, this novel tells the true story of the conflict between the inhabitants of the town of Gjøl and a group of fishermen who moved there from the North Sea coast. The newcomers, who practice a very strict form of Christian faith, clash with the more open and tolerant residents. The novel caused consternation in that city and throughout the country, selling more than 500,000 copies, more than any other book in the history of Denmark. This novel, Hans Kirk's first, is an essential text for understanding how religious fundamentalism affects people's lives.

Autorenporträt
Hans Kirk (Hadsund, 1898-Brådebæk, 1962) Abogado, periodista y autor célebre danés que escribió la novela más vendida de todos los tiempos en su Dinamarca natal: Los pescadores (1928). De 1926 a 1928 fue uno de los colaboradores habituales de Kritisk Revy, una revista de arquitectura. En 1941, durante la ocupación alemana, Kirk y cientos de personas más fueron arrestadas sin cargos por la policía danesa en una redada contra comunistas y simpatizantes de izquierda. Fue encarcelado y detenido en el campo de concentración danés de Horserød, pero logró escapar en 1943.
