Life

Jæger worked as a stenographer in the Storting, the Norwegian parliament. After the publication of his novel Christiania - Boheme on 11 December 1885 he was sentenced to a prison term and dismissed. The book, with which he gained a greater awareness, was seized as sittenverderblich and prohibited. Another penalty followed, as he secretly in Sweden brought out the book under the title "John Hunter's Christmas Stories". 1893 appeared sick love, also met with rejection of authority. In 1889, he was portrayed by Edvard Munch. After he had worked as a sailor ( he acquired the helmsman patent), he remained from 1892 for 16 years in Paris, where he worked for an insurance company. After his return from Paris, he founded the magazine in Copenhagen Corsairs, but was unsuccessful. His last work, "The Bible of anarchy " was not widely used.
