About the author

Johan Fridolf Fridegård, known as Jan Fridegård, originally Johansson and in youth called Fride Johansson, was a Swedish writer. In the Swedish literature Fridegård belonged to the so called proletarian authors, specifically (statarskolan). He is known for integrating social issues and conditions within his novels. His most prominent books are the self-biographical "Lars Hard" series as well as his Viking age trilogy. However, he was a very prolific author.

Fridegård kom från statarmiljö; den fräna självbiografiska romansviten om Lars Hård (1935–36) genomsyras av ett frigörelsepatos. Samma engagemang kännetecknar också trilogin om den upproriske trälen Holme, Trägudars land (1940), Gryningsfolket (1944) och Offerrök (1949).
