"The Kingdom of Heaven" is a work that Pontoppidan spent 10 years carefully conceived and created. In this masterpiece, the author's talent has been fully utilized. The protagonist of the novel was born into a wealthy bourgeois family. Influenced by progressive ideological trends, he was dissatisfied with the leisurely and comfortable bourgeois life and determined to go deep into the countryside to carry out reforms. In the trilogy "Kingdom of Heaven", the author uses an accurate and delicate style to create a complex image of a typical Danish youth, thus making the work reach a certain depth. The story of the protagonist unfolds in a huge picture of the Danish countryside, so the work has considerable breadth. The organic combination of depth and breadth makes "Kingdom of Heaven" a masterpiece of realism.
