Karl Stig-Erland Larsson (Julyeg) Larsson, a Swedish journalist and writer who died on September 15, 1954--October 9, 2004.
He is best known for writing the Millennium trilogy of crime books, which were published posthumously, after the author died unexpectedly from a heart attack.
Three motion pictures were shot in Sweden and one in the United States, according to the trilogy's first book (for the first book only).
David Lagercrantz was hired by the publisher to extend the trilogy to a longer version, which currently has six books as of September 2019.
Larsson lived and worked in Stockholm for a large portion of his life.
His journalistic work was mainly concerned with socialist politics, and he served as an independent researcher of right-wing nationalists. For 2008, he was the second-best-selling fiction author in the world, behind Afghan-American Khaled Hosseini.
According to Publishers Weekly, the third and final book in the Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, was the most popular book in the United States in 2010.
His series had sold 80 million copies around the world by March 2015.
Early life, family and education
Stieg Larsson was born in Skelleftehamn, Sweden, where his father and maternal grandfather worked in the Rönnskärsverken smelting plant. His father resigned from his job, and the family subsequently moved to Stockholm, suffering from arsenic poisoning. However, they decided to allow one-year-old Larsson to live, due to their clumsy living conditions. Larsson lived with his grandparents in a tiny wooden house in the countryside near the village of Bjursele in Norsjö Municipality, Västerbotten County, until the age of nine. During the long, snowy winters in northern Sweden, he stayed at the village school and skied cross-country skis to get to and from school.
Eva Gabrielsson's book "There Are Things I Want to Know" about Stieg Larsson and Me, which Larsson cites as "godforsaken places at the back of the world."
Larsson was not as fond of the urban environment in Ume, where he lived with his parents after his grandfather, Severin Boström, died of a heart attack at the age of 50.
Larsson obtained a secondary diploma in social sciences in 1972. He applied to the Joint Colleges of Journalism in Stockholm, but he failed the entrance examination. Larsson was drafted into the Swedish Army as a soldier under conscription law in 1974. He spent 16 months in mandatory military service, serving as a mortarman in an infantry unit in Kalmar.
His mother Vivianne died early, in 1991, from breast cancer complications and an aneurysm.
