About the author

Very little confirmed biographical information about M. Hahl appears to be readily available online beyond library and public-domain catalog records. Those records identify the author as M. (Moses) Hahl, born in 1879 and died in 1928.

He is known for Lihan evankeliumi: Moraalin arvostelua, a Finnish-language work published in 1914 and later preserved in library collections and public-domain archives. The book is presented as a philosophical and social critique, questioning accepted ideas about morality, religion, and society in a bold, argumentative style.

Because reliable biographical sources are scarce, it is safest to remember Hahl through the work itself: a forceful early-20th-century voice whose writing suggests an interest in ethics, material life, and social change.
