by Antti Fredrik Hassell
Born on December 11, 1855, in Ilomantsi and died on February 27, 1911, in Jyväskylä, A. F. Hassel was a Finnish nonfiction writer and translator. Finnish reference sources identify him as Antti Fredrik Hassel and note that he wrote informative works as well as translations intended for a broad reading public.
His surviving bibliography suggests a special interest in geography, discovery, and historical subjects. One of the works associated with him is Jaakko Cook'in matkat Tyynellä merellä, a Finnish account connected with the voyages of James Cook, which fits his wider role in introducing international themes to Finnish-language readers.
Reliable pages found during this search provide basic biographical and bibliographic information, but they do not appear to offer a clear usable portrait photograph of him. Because of that, no profile image is included here.
