Emil Aarestrup
Danish poet and physician (1800-1856) · Denmark · On the map · Writers · Died at 55
Carl Ludvig Emil Aarestrup was a Danish medical doctor and poet, who had just one single volume of poetry published throughout his lifetime, yet this gave him a lasting place in Danish literature, due to the originality of the poems, as well as their persistent exploration of erotic themes, somewhat uncommon to the day.
Emil Aarestrup is read about 7.5 times a day, in 27 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
