Стиг Ларшон
Stieg Larsson was a Swedish journalist and writer who exposed far-right extremism.
He died in 2004, leaving behind the unpublished Millennium trilogy.
The series, including "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," became international bestsellers.
Larsson's work often addressed sexual violence against women, inspired by a traumatic event he witnessed at age 15.
This experience profoundly influenced his writing, with the assault victim's name, Lisbeth, used for his trilogy's protagonist.
Larsson believed in the duty of revenge, a theme reflected in his novels.
His journalistic background informed his crisp, logical prose style.
