Ola Hansson

Ola Hansson (born November 12, 1860 in Hönsinge ( Grönby ), Sweden ; † September 26, 1925 in Büyükdere on the Bosporus ) was a Swedish-German writer .

Life

In 1889 he married the German-Baltic author Laura Marholm . Together with her he left Sweden in 1890 in order to get to Berlin via detours through France and Switzerland and to settle there. Just like his wife, he joins the Friedrichshagener poet circle . He did not return to Sweden until the end of his life.

The negative reviews of his works Notturno (1885) and the collection of novels Sensitiva amorosa (1887) are cited as the reason for his emigration . Hansson finds the degradation of these central works insulting and defamatory. In 1888/89, through the mediation of Georg Brandes and August Strindberg , he was confronted with the work of Friedrich Nietzsche , which occupied him until the end of his life.
