Why read it?
1 author picked The Life and Songs of Carl Michael Bellman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Musician, poet, drunkard, genius, and scoundrel, Carl Michael Bellman was a fascinating historical figure that I badly wanted as a character in my novel but had to cut. If music can define an era, then Bellman is the voice of the Gustavian age. This wonderful, illustrated non-fiction work brought Bellman and 18th century Stockholm to life for me; I borrowed it from the library for two years while working on the first draft of my own book. (Eventually, I bought my own copy.) Bellmanâs songs and spirit remain part of Swedish culture today.Â
From Karen's list on to unlock treasures of Swedenâs Gustavian Age.
