# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Rudolf Christoph Eucken was born on 5 January 1846 in Germany and built a career around what the Swedish Academy later called an "earnest search for truth." His idealistic philosophy of life, laid out across numerous works, combined penetrating thought with unusual warmth and rhetorical strength. That combination — the rigor of a thinker and the pulse of a stylist — earned him the 1908 Nobel Prize in Literature, nominated by a member of the Academy itself. He died on 15 September 1926.
