Autorenporträt
Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author, historian of ideas, artist, and a long-time instructor in the peaceful martial art aikido. He has published a number of books in Swedish as well as English, both fiction and non-fiction. Among the latter is an interpretation of the Chinese Taoist classic Tao Te Ching and of the Japanese samurai classic Go Rin no Sho (Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi. His novels explore existential subjects from stoneage drama to science fiction, but lately stay more and more focused on the present. He has also written some plays for the stage and scripts for the screen. In the history of ideas he studies the thought patterns of creation myths, as well as Aristotle's Poetics.
