Aatto Suppanen

Adolf (Aatto) Suppanen (born 15 April 1855 in then-Finnish Ruskeala, d. 3 February 1898 in Helsinki)[1] was a Finnish writer, journalist and translator. He used the nom de plume of Aatto S.

By the late 1800s Suppanen had become a prolific translator into Finnish, primarily from Swedish and German, and he was the first professional literary translator into Finnish. Two well-known English-language works that he translated were Lew Wallace's Ben-Hur (Ben-Hur: kertomus Kristuksen ajoilta), and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (Setä Tuomon tupa)

On 1 June 1882, he married Alma Erika Henriette Bonsdorff (1851-1937), from Jokioinen, the daughter of Erik Napoleon Bonsdorff (1805-1870) and Henriette Rotkirch (1808-1851). The couple had four children, Aino (b. 1884), Toini (b. 1885), Viljo (b. 1887) and Alma (b. 1888).[2]
