Villy Sørensen

Villy Sørensen was born in Frederiksberg in 1929 and studied philosophy in Copenhagen and Fribourg without taking his examinations; the University of Copenhagen would make him an honorary doctor in 1979. With Klaus Rifbjerg he edited the journal Vindrosen from 1959 to 1963, joined the Danish Academy in 1965 and translated more than twenty books, Kafka among them. His essays on Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Marx and Kierkegaard made him one of the most listened-to intellectuals in the country; he received the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 1974. He died in 2001.
