Born: 6 December 1885 in Vanersborg [Died] April 30, 1929. Swedish poet from Växjö. With almost no formal education, he worked in various jobs before becoming a journalist. At the age of 39, he burst onto the literary scene like a comet, and died after only five years of creative activity. His ambitious collection of poems, Kriser och Kransar (Crisis and Crown) (1926), is highly praised for its fierce confrontation with life and its unique form, and is recognized as one of the masterpieces of modern Swedish poetry. He was prone to schizophrenia and sometimes suffered from extreme depression, and many of his poems reflect his inner troubles, searching for a world of light in the darkness. His first collection of poems was Frida's Book (22), and he even went on a minstrel tour singing the poems from this collection. Other works include the novel Shattered Quartet (24), the posthumously published poetry collection The Book of Frida, Volume 2 (29), and Memories of Earth (40). Sjöberg |
[生]1885.12.6. ベーネルスボリ [没]1929.4.30. ベクシェー スウェーデンの詩人。ほとんど正規の教育を受けず,種々の職業を経てジャーナリストとなり,39歳のとき彗星のように文壇に登場,5年間の短い創作活動ののちに没したが,その意欲的な詩集『危機と花冠』 Kriser och Kransar (1926) は,凄絶ともいうべき生との対決と独特の形式とで高く評価され,スウェーデン近代詩の代表作の一つと認められている。精神分裂症的性向から極度の憂鬱症にとらわれることがあり,その詩も内面の悩みを反映して,暗黒のなかに光明の世界を求めるものが多い。処女詩集は『フリーダの書』 Fridas bok (22) で,このなかの詩を歌いながら吟遊の旅をしたこともある。ほかに,小説『砕かれた四重奏』 Kvartetten somsprängdes (24) ,死後出版された詩集『フリーダの書』第2集 (29) ,『地上の思い出』 Minnen från jorden (40) など。 シェーベルイ
