About the author
Aron Josef Sarlin, known as A. J. Sarlin, was born in Tuusniemi in 1866 and died in Turku in 1933. He is described in Finnish reference sources as a lycée teacher, writer, and translator, and he also wrote under the pen names A-i-s and Arkadius.
Sarlin is remembered not only for his own writing but also for his work helping other authors reach readers through translation. His bibliography includes a book on Zacharias Topelius, showing a clear interest in literary history as well as literature itself.
Available library authority data and reference material present him as a steady figure in Finnish cultural life: an educator by profession, and a man of letters by vocation. For listeners interested in older Finnish writing, he offers a window into the scholarly and literary world of his time.
