Resumé

This article offers a reading of Herman Bang’s Novel De uden Fædreland – (Those Without a Nation–) under the perspective of the so-called “Yellow Peril”, a wide- spread theory at the beginning of the 20th century, which believed that Europe was threatened by a pan-Asian movement. The article claims that Bang’s fear of Asia and of European decline is mixed with a certain sympathy for Buddhism and the idea of resignation.
