Af mit Levned by Johan Louis Ussing

"Af mit Levned" by Johan Louis Ussing is an autobiographical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the life of Ussing, detailing his experiences from childhood through his education and eventual career. Through his narrative, the author reflects on his family background, education, and the people who influenced him, providing a personal glimpse into his life amid the evolving academic and cultural landscape of his time. The opening of "Af mit Levned" introduces us to the author's musings on the nature of autobiography as he approaches his 70th birthday. He receives a letter from a friend encouraging him to write about his life, admitting his past may not seem remarkable. Ussing then recounts his early years in Copenhagen, his familial connections, and touches on significant figures in his heritage. He vividly describes his childhood memories, the environment he grew up in, and the influences of his father and siblings on his education and character development, laying a foundation for the detailed reminiscences about his youth that are to follow.
