Axel Wallengren

Sven Axel Olaus Wallengren (originally Svensson) (26 January 1865, Lund – 4 December 1896, Berlin) was a Swedish author, poet, and journalist, who wrote under the nom de plume Falstaff, fakir.

Axel Wallengren in the 1890s.

Wallengren was born in Lund where he would spend most of his short life. His father Mårten Svensson (1831-1898) was the poor son of a peasant who had managed to work his way up to a respectable position as a local civil servant, and his mother Olivia Wallengren (1842-1879) was the daughter of a clergyman. Although the latter died of tuberculosis when young Axel was only fourteen and his many siblings even younger, he seems to have had a fairly harmonious middle-class childhood. After having attended the local gymnasium Katedralskolan, Wallengren enrolled as a student at Lund University in 1883. At first he studied diligently and received a degree as Bachelor of Arts in 1886. After this he entered the faculty of law - probably mainly as a result of his father's ambitions - but from then on his literary and other interests would take the upper hand of him, and he never fulfilled this part of his education.

Wallengren had begun developing his writing skills already as a schoolboy through "Vala", a literary society at his gymnasium. Originally mainly working as a poet he got his first poems published already as a teenager.

gollark: Here is my actually good*, elegant** solution:```pythondef gollariosolver(n): #print(n, "is n") x = bisect.bisect_left(fibs, n) out = set() z = 0 for i in range(x, 0, -1): #print("gollario", i, z, fibs[i]) if (y := fibs[i] + z) <= n: z = y out.add(i) if z == n: return out```

gollark: I actually just ran out of time to do a cool solution, so I took the most working python thing I had, ported it to C in a way which was technically wrong but also worked due to a coincidence I found out about after reanalyzing it internally, and then quickly shoved together a thing to replace all the tokens with bits of the navy seal copypasta.

gollark: I don't understand what ridiculous nonsense you did but stop doing it, retroactively.

gollark: Okay, so Kit was *not* bluffing?
