About the author

Born on 29 August 1878 in Heiloo, Hendrik Anne Constantijn Snethlage was a Dutch author whose name appears in bibliographic and family records from the Netherlands. He died on 25 April 1960 in The Hague.

He is linked to Dutch literary and devotional publishing, including work connected with Albert Schweitzer - de man die tot allen spreekt and contributions listed in older Dutch book records. The available sources suggest a literary career tied to translation, religious writing, or editorial collaboration, but the surviving public information is limited.

Because so little biographical detail is readily confirmed, Snethlage remains one of those authors known more through scattered catalog entries and publications than through a well-documented public life. For listeners, that can make his work especially interesting: it comes from a real historical figure whose voice has outlasted the facts most people would usually expect to find.
