På Scenen — Ifrån Salongen! Eller Hvad Onkel Blasius Sett Med Obeväpnat Öga Under 40 År
by Gustaf Herman Bothén
About the author
Gustaf Herman Bothén, also listed as Claes Gustaf Herman Bothén, was a Swedish author active in the 19th century. Public catalog and author records confirm him as the writer of På scenen – ifrån salongen! eller hvad onkel Blasius sett med obeväpnadt öga under 40 år, a work first published in 1877 and later preserved through library and Project Gutenberg records.
Beyond that, easily verifiable biographical details appear to be limited in the sources available online. Even so, the survival of his work in major public-domain collections suggests a writer with a place in Sweden’s literary and theatrical culture of his era.
For listeners today, Bothén offers the pleasure of rediscovery: an older Swedish voice, a period setting, and a book that carries the tone of performance, memory, and social observation.
