He was the son of Abraham Falch Muus, and his grandfather was Isach Muus, the owner of Åsen and Ullevål farms. Rudolf grew up at Åsen farm, close to the working class districts of Sagene and Torshov. He started writing at about the age of six, and at school he was given 50 øre for each essay he wrote for his classmates. When he was about 7-8 years old, he was the theatre director for Aasen Theater and instructed young actors in little plays he had written himself. At the age of 12, he finished off a book on fairy tales, but it was never published. In 1881 he completed the examen artium (the entrance examination required for acceptance to university level studies) in one year, and after further studies at the University of Oslo he earned the title of Cand. Philos. Muus was married to Olga Erikka Jørgine, with whom he had ten children. His wife a musician and had performed at Kristiania Theater. Their home became a meeting place for artists and musicians. Muus enjoyed outdoor life, and particularly picked up an interest in fishing and picking mushrooms. Muus wrote about 50 novels, many of them very long. Many of these were crime fiction characterized by persecution scenes and some light romance. In many of his stories, the plot took place in Kristiania (the former name of Oslo). Many of Muus’ stories were descriptions of city environments long gone from the present city of Oslo. In addition he also translated several German and English novels. 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「Rudolf Muus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
