Bengt Anderberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bengt Nikolas Anderberg (born April 17, 1920 in Gothenburg , †  September 24, 2008 in Rønne ) was a Swedish translator and writer. He was married to the ceramicist Astrid Anderberg from 1947 until the end of his life.

Bengt Anderberg was first known in 1948 through the book Cain . As a writer, he broke taboos such as sexuality and religious narrow-mindedness. He wrote for Expressen magazine's culture section for 48 years .

Life

Anderberg grew up in Gothenburg. His writing career began in 1945 with the collection of short stories En kväll om våren . In 1946 he published the collection of poems Fåglar . Kristofer followed a year later . This type of romantic literature was not entirely uncommon at the time.

In 1948 his anti-war novel Cain was published, which differed significantly from his previous literature. His way of portraying eroticism had never been seen before. Due to its strong pacifist tendencies and its sexual openness, the novel sparked heated debate. Anderberg became famous overnight and was almost charged with a moral crime.

In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s Anderberg published dramas, essays and narrative prose. Due to alcohol problems, his works were sometimes published even after long breaks. Anderberg was known for challenging his readership with his works. In 1999 the novel Amorin was published. This was very well received by critics.

Anderberg was a longtime author of Expressen magazine and worked for the magazine's culture section.

He published the first volumes of the Kärlek (German: love or love in Sweden ) book series, which appeared between 1965 and 1970 in the Corniche publishing house. The book series was created at a time when erotic literature was still partially censored. It has been a successful attempt to publish high quality and sophisticated adult literature written by serious writers as opposed to some literature in pornographic magazines .

Together with Per Runesson, Anderberg had regular appearances on the radio.

Bengt Anderberg translated works by Botho Strauss , William Shakespeare , Jens August Schade , Bertolt Brecht and Charles Dickens into Swedish.

In 2014 the Bengt Anderberg-sällskapet (Bengt Anderberg Society) was founded to promote the dissemination of the author's texts.
