J. (Johannes) Fibiger

Johannes Fibiger, listed in library records as J. (Johannes) Fibiger, was a Danish author born in 1821 and died in 1897. He is best known today for Mit liv og levned som jeg selv har forstaaet det, an autobiographical work published around the end of his life and later made widely available through public-domain archives.

That memoir is centered on his own life story: his early years, family background, education, and the people and places that influenced him, including memories connected with Falster. The book stands out for its reflective, personal tone and for the glimpse it gives into everyday life and values in 19th-century Denmark.

Although he is not as widely known internationally as some of his contemporaries, Fibiger remains of interest to readers who enjoy literary memoirs and older Scandinavian writing. His surviving work has continued to circulate through digitized editions, helping modern readers discover a thoughtful first-person account from another era.
