Georg Brandes was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1842 and attended college at the University of Copenhagen from 1859-1864. His teachers were Hans Brochner and Rasmus Nielsen, both of whom had known Soren Kierkegaard. Brandes was influenced by Baruch Spinoza, Friedrich Hegel, Johan Ludvig Heiberg, and Friedrich Nietzsche. He wrote many biographies including one on Kierkegaard and one on Nietzsche. The book questions whether sin is real or the law is real. What is ideal?

Brandes published Brochner's "Recollections of Soren Kierkegaard". Thomas Henry Croxall, published parts of Brochner's book in "Glimpses and Impressions of Kierkegaard" 1959. 

This is a reading from part of his book "Reminiscences of My Childhood and Youth"
