About the author
Born in Helsinki on May 2, 1891, Bruno Bernhard Nurmi was a Finnish journalist and writer. Library authority records describe him not only as a writer and journalist but also as a bank employee, which helps sketch a picture of a literary life built alongside everyday work.
He wrote in several forms. Surviving catalog records show plays among his works, and he is especially associated with Richard Wagner, a Finnish-language biography that has remained accessible through public-domain editions.
Nurmi died in Mikkeli on April 2, 1940. Read today, his bibliography suggests a versatile early-20th-century author who moved comfortably between cultural subjects and practical prose.
