Lisbeth Salander is a fictional character created by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. She is the main character of Larsson's award-winning ''Millennium'' series, along with Mikael Blomkvist. She first appeared in the novel ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'' (original Swedish title, ''Män som hatar kvinnor'', literally "Men who hate women" in English). She is also featured in ''The Girl Who Played with Fire'' and ''The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest''. == Creation == In the only interview he ever did about the series, Larsson stated that he based the character of Lisbeth Salander on what he imagined Pippi Longstocking might have been like as an adult. In the trilogy, Salander has the name "V. Kulla" displayed on the door of her apartment on the top floor of Fiskargatan 9 in Stockholm. "V. Kulla" is an abbreviation of "Villa Villekulla", the name of Pippi Longstocking's house.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stieglarsson.com/millennium-stockholm-map/lisbeths-new-apartment-1280977 )〕 Another source of inspiration was Larsson's niece, Therese. A rebellious teenager, she often wore black clothing and makeup and told him several times that she wanted to get a tattoo of a dragon. The author often emailed Therese while writing the novels to ask her about her life and how she would react in certain situations. She told him about her battle with anorexia and that she practiced kickboxing (previously jujitsu).〔 After his death, many of Larsson's friends said the character was created out of an incident in which Larsson, then a teenager, witnessed three of his friends gang-raping an acquaintance of his named Lisbeth, and did nothing to stop it. Days later, wracked with guilt, he begged her forgiveness — which she refused. The incident, he said, haunted him for years afterward, and in part moved him to create a character with her name who was also a rape survivor. The veracity of this story has since been questioned, after a colleague from ''Expo'' magazine reported to ''Rolling Stone'' that Larsson had told him that he had heard the story secondhand and retold it as his own.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lisbeth Salander」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
