Bio
I live in Sweden, in Gothenburg. I am born here and have studied for several years at the University in Gothenburg, literature and Philosophy. I have also written two books in Swedish, one of which dealt with the concept of Irony.( Ironi och existens, 1983.)



I am very familiar with reading English texts ( as well as German ), am a fast reader, and think I can easily translate English-Swedish with a good result. I am very familiar with everything concerning Philosophy, Theory of Literature, Art, Religion ( Christianity ), History, Politics and the like. I have a thourough knowledge of German idealistic Philosophy ( mainly Hegel ) as well as the connection between the writings of S. Kierkegard to the works of Hegel. ( I do read Danish fluently too.) Furthermore I have studied a lot of modern English and French Philosophy.



Through the years my main object of research has been the literary technique of Franz Kafka. Kafka himself has a beautiful way of handling the German language. It has been a thrill reading most of what has been written on this subject in English, German, French and Spanish, which are the languages I read , apart from Swedish and related languages in Scandinavia.

I am able to plan my days entirely the way I like.

My knowledge in working with computer programs of different sorts ( pictures, audio, webdesign ) is extensive. I am a fast learer. I read one book a day. I am composing classical music ( several hours a day ) in a digital program and have a good computer with Windows 7 . What more is there to say ?
