Maarten 't Hart

Dutch writer (1944) · Netherlands · On the map · Writers

Maarten 't Hart is a Dutch writer. Trained as a biologist in zoology and ethology at the Leiden University, he taught that subject before becoming a full-time writer in the 1980s, having made his debut as a novelist in 1971 under the name Martin Hart with Stenen voor een ransuil.

Maarten 't Hart is read about 103 times a day, in 15 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 15 September 2026

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.
