Karl Listner
Remembered mainly through a Finnish edition of adventure tales set in Australia, this elusive writer is tied to a small but intriguing corner of migration-era storytelling. Very little biographical information appears to survive online, which gives the work an added air of mystery.

Siirtolaisen elämän vaiheet; Haaksirikon jälkeen : Kaksi kertomusta Austraaliasta
by Karl Listner, Friedrich Gerstäcker
About the author
Available sources confirm Karl Listner as a credited author on Siirtolaisen elämän vaiheet; Haaksirikon jälkeen: Kaksi kertomusta Austraaliasta, a Finnish-language volume associated with Friedrich Gerstäcker. Project Gutenberg lists this as the only work currently gathered under Listner's name there, and catalog records point to the same title.
Beyond that attribution, reliable biographical details about Listner are hard to verify from the sources found during this search. No clear, well-sourced author biography turned up, so it is safest to describe Listner as a little-documented writer connected with Finnish publication and adaptation of adventure or emigration-themed fiction about Australia.
That scarcity of information is part of what makes the name memorable: Listner survives in the record not through a large known bibliography, but through a single surviving trail in digital libraries and public-domain archives.
