Peter Pohl

Peter Pohl was born in 1940 in Germany. His father died in World War II. After the war, Pohl and his Swedish mother moved to Sweden, where he's lived ever since. In 1975, Pohl graduated and became a professor in Numerical analysis. Five years later he started filming, and with success: he won various prizes for his work. His writing career started in 1983. Pohl's themes are sad: themes like death, bullying, loneliness are often part of his books, and almost none of his books have a happy ending. Some of his books have autobiographical elements (the Rainbow series) and some others are based on true stories that came to him directly or indirectly. Some of his books were originally published as adult literature but later recategorised as books
