Waldemar Hammenhög
Per Waldemar Hammenhög (April 18, 1902 – November 1, 1972) was a Swedish writer and novelist.〔 The trivial, petty bourgeois urban environment forms the basis of many of his early realistic novels, whereas his later works turned towards religious and moral issues.〔(Waldemar Hammenhög ), Store norske leksikon.〕 Writing more than 40 novels, Hammenhög is probably best known for ''Pettersson & Bendel'' (1931), a humorous novel adapted twice to screen.〔
==Life and work ==
Born in Stockholm in 1902 as Waldemar Anderson,〔 he was the son of foreman Per Anderson and his wife Lydia Källgren.〔 After graduating from the ''Högre realläroverket å Östermalm'' high school in Stockholm in 1919,〔(Waldemar Hammenhög ), Vem är det : Svensk biografisk handbok, 1957 ed., p. 378.〕 Hammenhög worked as an office boy,〔 and later office clerk until 1930.〔(Waldemar Hammenhög ), Svenskt biografiskt lexikon, 1969.〕 He left his job as a clerk after he was awarded first-prize in a novel competition organized by the Stockholm-based publishing house ''Natur & Kultur'' with his debut novel ''Esther och Albert''.〔 He submitted the text under the pseudonym "Hammenhög", which became his official name in 1931.〔Vad skriva de härnäst?, Bonniers litterärar magasin, 1932, Vol 2. p. 67-69.〕
Among Hammenhög's writing highlights is the humorous novel ''Petterson & Bendel'' (1931), adapted to screen in 1933 starring Adolf Jahr as Pettersson; and as ''P&B'' (1983) starring Stellan Skarsgård as Petterson and Allan Edwall as Bendel. ''Esther och Alberts äktenskap'' (1936) was also a success, adapted to screen as ''Ung man söker sällskap'' (1954), starring Ulf Palme and Gaby Stenberg.〔(Waldemar Hammenhög ), Svensk filmdatabas.〕
In the late 1940s, Hammenhög's writing turned from realistic humor towards moral issues as he was struggling with personal alcoholism.〔(Waldemar Hammenhög - Pettersson & Bendel ), Aftonbladet 1983.〕 His writing reached a turning point with ''Torken'' (1951),〔"Torken" (literally: "dryer") is a Swedish non-standard word for an institution that takes care of drug detoxification.〕 a novel about the failure of traditional alcoholic care. The novel is sometimes regarded as Hammenhög's second breakthrough as a novelist.〔 A year later, Hammenhög published ''Omne animal'' (1952), a novel which implied that Hammenhög was heading toward Roman Catholicism. Most novels that followed often focused on religious and moral issues.〔
