Z Mika Waltari Biography Mika Toimi Waltari (September 19, 1908 - August 26, 1979) was a Finnish author, best known for the historical novel The Egyptian. Waltari was born in Helsinki and lost his father, a Lutheran pastor, at the age of 5. As a boy, he witnessed the Finnish Civil War in Helsinki. Later he enrolled in the University of Helsinki as a theology student, according to his mother's wishes, but soon abandoned theology in favour of philosophy, aesthetics and literature, graduating in 1929. While studying, he contributed to various magazines and wrote poetry and stories, getting his first book published in 1925. In 1927 he went to Paris where he wrote his first major novel Suuri illusioni ('The Grand Illusion'), a story of bohemian life and a Finnish equivalent to the works of the American writers of the Lost Generation. He also was, for a while, a member of the liberal literary movement Tulenkantajat, though his political and social views lated turned ultra-conservative. He was married in 1931 and had a daughter, Satu, who also became a writer. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Waltari worked hectically as a journalist and critic, writing for a number of newspapers and magazines and travelling widely in Europe. At the same time, he kept writing books in many genres, moving easily from one literary field to another. Due to his hard work ethics, he suffered from insomnia and depression, sometimes to the extent of a need of hospital treatment. He participated, and often succeeded, in literary competitions to prove the quality of his work to critics. One of these competitions gave rise to one of his most popular characters, Inspector Palmu, a gruff detective of the Helsinki police department, who starred in three mystery novels, all of which were filmed. Waltari also scripted the popular cartoon Kieku ja Kaiku and wrote a guidebook for aspiring writers that influenced many younger writers such as Kalle Päätalo.

Many of the main character's decisions were not logical given the events at that time. Interesting and worth reading if you enjoy historical fiction. Good Read Good book, funny to think that in the 1940's it was banned for being to graphic . . tame by todays standards! Get Yours Hands on any of Waltari's Work! How I wish that all of Waltari's works would be reprinted and easily available! The Egyptian is simply one of the all-time best pieces of historical ficion ever written. If you're a fan of this genre, then grab this author's books. The Etruscan is a bit more mystical, but is an excellent read and Secret of the Kingdom takes a Roman viewpoint of the times leading up to Jesus's death. The Dark Angel is just that - a bit darker than the other novels, but all are chock full of unforgettable characters and settings. I can't recommend this man's works any more highly! Why cut it?

Autoren Kinderliteratur Literatur und kritik Analyse Literatur ... Deutsche Novellen Autoren Index Autoren Waltari, Mika Waltari, Mika - Leben und Biographie Mika Waltari war der bekannteste und produktivste finnische Schriftsteller seiner Zeit. Mit seinem Roman Sinuhe, der Ägypter erreichte er Weltruhm. Der Sohn eines Lehrers studierte Philosophie, Theologie und Literatur in Helsinki. Nach Ab-schluss seines Studiums 1929 und längeren Reisen, u.a. nach Frankreich, arbeitete er als Literaturkritiker, Journalist und Ãœbersetzer; ab 1938 war er als freier Schriftsteller tätig. 1950 erhielt Waltari den Staatlichen Finnischen Literaturpreis. 1957 wurde er Mitglied der finnischen Akademie. In jungen Jahren wandte Waltari sich zunächst religiöser Lyrik und Kurzgeschichten zu. Mit dem Roman Die große Illusion aus dem Jahr 1928, einem plastisch dargestellten Zeitbild Finnlands in den 1920er Jahren, gelang ihm der künstlerische Durchbruch. Nach Schilderungen des Landlebens und des Bildungsbürgertums schuf Waltari ab den 1940er Jahren vor allem groß angelegte historische Romane, wobei dem Werk Sinuhe, der Ägypter der größte Erfolg beschieden war. Waltaris historische Romane sind in Tagebuchform gehaltene Bekenntnisdichtungen, die anfänglich von einer pessimistisch-zynischen Lebensphilosophie geprägt sind und sich dann immer mehr metaphysischen Fragestellungen widmen. Der meistübersetzte Schriftsteller Finnlands schuf neben Romanwerken auch Dramen, Kriminalromane, Erzählungen und Märchen.

A recurrent theme in Waltari's work is the fate of humanist values in a materialist world. After World War II Waltari took the large-scale historical novels as means to express his pessimism and Christian world view. "I, Sinuhe, the son of Senmut and of his wife Kipa, write this. I do not write it to the glory of the gods in the land of Kem, for I am weary of gods, nor the glory of the Pharaohs, for I am weary of their deeds. I write neither from fear nor from any hope of the future but for myself alone. During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come." (from Sinuhe , trans. by Naomi Walford

Jos onnistun herättämään nuoret aivot ajattelemaan ja hehkumaan uuden maailman luomiseksi, ilman sotia, aseita ja väkivaltaa, silloin henkilökohtainen kuolemani ja sen ajankohta on kokonaan toisarvoinen".
