Eyvind Johnson was born on 29 July 1900 in Sweden and built a career as a novelist and short story writer. Over decades he became regarded as the most groundbreaking novelist in modern Swedish literature, a status that earned him membership in the Swedish Academy in 1957. Seventeen years later, on 25 August 1976, he died - two years after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he shared with Harry Martinson in a joint honor that remains one of the prize's most unusual moments.
