Über den Autor

Lennart Svensson (born 1965) made his English language debut in 2014 with Ernst Jünger - A Portrait. The following year he published a biography of another controversial German, Richard Wagner. In 2015 he also published the essay Borderline -- A Traditionalist Outlook for Modern Man.A major essay of Svensson saw light of day in 2016: Science Fiction Seen from the Right. This was a literary study portraying the genres of sf and fantasy from a radical conservative viewpoint, as such, totally unique in the history of these genres. Indeed, Svensson has a conservative outlook in life, appreciating traditional art and culture of the Nordic and Western kind along with the Sanâtana Dharma of India. Svensson aims at giving the audience his traditionally footed worldview in popular form, in both essay and novel form. A proof of the latter is the fantasy Redeeming Lucifer (2017). Before this, before his career as a writer in English, Svensson as intimated had published novels in Swedish. And he still writes in Swedish, like publishing his history of Sweden, Ett rike utan like, in 2017.Lennart Svensson has a BA in Indology and lives in Härnösand on the northern coast of Sweden. He blogs at The Svensson Galaxy.
