Väinö Albert Nuorteva
Väinö Albert Nuorteva (born December 12, 1889 in Mäntsälä , † February 4, 1967 in Helsinki ), known under the pseudonym Olli , was a Finnish writer .
Nuorteva was born to the pharmacist Karl Emil Nyberg and his wife Matilda Lovisa Nyberg (née Hildén). In 1919 he adopted the Finnish name Nuorteva. From 1917 Nuorteva worked as a journalist and literary writer. Until 1965 he published in various Finnish daily newspapers.
From 1917 to 1918 he wrote over ten thousand satirical short stories as Olli for Uusi Päivä (New Day), 1919 to 1922 for Iltalehti (Abendblatt) and from 1922 to 1965 for Uusi Suomi (New Finland) , which he later published in anthologies.
He first published German translations in 1938 in Der Norden lacht (Berlin) and in 1943 in Suomi - Humor und Herz (Leipzig / Berlin). The German chess master Robert Huebner self-published a small selection of his own translations in two volumes ( five-thirty-five Satirchen , Hamburg 1993, and five-seventy-five Satirchen , Hamburg 2003).
