Hjalmar Söderberg

Hjalmar Söderberg, born in 1869 in Stockholm into a family of minor civil servants, studied at Norra Latin, was employed at the customs administration from 1888 to 1896 and wrote in the press from the age of twenty. His first novel, in 1895, was judged immoral, even pornographic, by part of the critics. A contributor to Svenska Dagbladet from 1897 to 1908, he then lived mostly in Denmark and settled in Copenhagen in 1917, where he married Emilie Voss. There he fought Nazism through his articles and died on 14 October 1941.
