About the author

Born in 1849, Otto George Lütken was a Danish naval officer and writer. Reliable catalog and biographical references identify him by name and dates, and Danish biographical sources connect him with a notable public life in Copenhagen.

He married the operatic soprano Augusta Lütken, one of the Royal Danish Theatre's best-known singers of her day, in 1880. That connection places him in a lively artistic and cultural circle as well as a naval one, which helps explain why his name still appears in both literary and historical records.

Some details of his writing career are not easy to confirm from the sources available here, so it is safest to describe him broadly as a Danish author with a naval background. He died in 1906.
