Hans Henrik Jæger (born September 2, 1854 in Drammen , Norway , † February 8, 1910 in Christiania (Oslo)) was a Norwegian writer and anarchist.

Life

Jæger worked as a stenographer at Storting , the Norwegian parliament. After the publication of his novel Kristiania-Boheme on December 11, 1885, he was sentenced to arrest and released. The book, with which he gained greater fame, was confiscated as corruptible and banned. Another punishment followed when he secretly published the book in Sweden under the title Hans Jäger's Christmas Tales. In 1893, Ill Love was published , which was also rejected by the authorities. In 1889 he was portrayed by Edvard Munch . After working as a seafarer (he obtained the tax man's license ), he stayed in Paris for 16 years from 1892 , where he worked for an insurance company. After his return from Paris he founded the magazine Korsaren in Copenhagen , which was unsuccessful. His last work, The Bible of Anarchy , was not widely used either. He died in 1910, presumably of stomach cancer.
