Work
Recurring subjects in Eyvind Johnson’s novels are individual, moral, social and political problems. He debuted in 1924 with a collection of short stories, De fyra främlingarna (The Four Strangers). Four autobiographical novels Romansviten om Olof (The Novel about Olof) published from 1934 to 1937 became Johnson’s big breakthrough and is considered one of his main works.

作品
埃温德-约翰逊的小说中反复出现的主题是个人、道德、社会和政治问题。他在1924年以短篇小说集《四个陌生人》(De fyra främlingarna)首次亮相。1934年至1937年出版的四部自传体小说《关于奥洛夫的小说》(Romansviten om Olof)成为约翰逊的重大突破,被视为他的主要作品之一。他在《关于Krilon的三部曲》(1941-1943)中写了他对当时新兴的纳粹主义和法西斯主义的恐惧,其中对世界进行了寓言式的描述。
