Sivar Arnér

Ernst Nils Erik Arner Sivar ( born March 13, 1909 in Arby, Kalmar Lan, † 13 January 1997 ) was a Swedish writer, radio play author and playwright.

Life

Arner grew up in Småland, the son of a businessman. He studied at the University of Lund literary history, Nordic languages ​​and history, was 32 ​​years Magister and then teacher in Karlskrona, in Skara and from 1944 to 1947 in Norrköping. In 1959, he married the artist and author Lenke Rothman.

In 1943 he dedütierte with his novel Plånbok borttappad ( wallet lost ) in which it comes to issues of power and law in relation to the Finnish Winter War. " In his first works Arner investigates human loneliness and ambivalence to interpret in a mystical way. " He wrote some plays and numerous towards the end of the fifties radio plays as well as the text to Sven- David Sandström's first opera (1973 ) På Finsta sommaren år 1316 ( Birgittamusik No. 1).

The background of his most important book, the Stockholm novel Tvärbalk ( transom, 1963) is the problem of the welfare state. The work was translated into German and made ​​into a film directed by Jörn Donner 1967. Using the example of his main character, a Jew who emigrated to Sweden, the film features the strangeness of refugees after years of deprivation in the concentration camp and the political stance and the selfishness of the capital residents. The film had little success.

In most of his novels, the contrasts between men and women play a major role. In society often combine very contrasting types of people whose illusions and marriages, he described and analyzed. " The Analythisch Psychological outweighs the Lyric in Arnérs tightly composed novels. " His style combines expressive realism with symbolism, it is " easily, quickly, effectively and dialogues are brilliantly again. "
