Mika Waltari
Mika Waltari (1908-1979) was a Finnish author, journalist, critic, poet, playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and more. He is one of the most prolific Finnish authors – having a very strict work ethic. Only a fraction of his work has been translated into English. Often after one of his books was finished, he would go into depression and sometimes need to check-in to the hospital. As Mika got older and his books sold internationally, he wrote less, as he no longer needed to write to live.
