Gustaf von Dürrenlof (12th December 1782 - 14th March 1870), swedish philosopher and writer. He was born near Uppsala (Kungsgärdet) where he lived the first part of his life. His father, Mark Dürrenlof was a convinced protestant banker and left Uppsala to Dusseldorf after his wife died with tuberculosis. The young Dürrenlof felt the death of his mother in a terrible way and he was raised up by a missing father, tied to the past, to religious theories and to economical profits. When he went to the University, at the age of 19, he met Schoppenhauer and his pessimism and dissident moods finally reached a point of no return in his father house. He came back to Uppsala and worked at the Uppsala Universitet Library as a messenger. There, he contacted with the most famous works and writers. His famous work, Live i skit (1807), Living in shit, was condemned by the King Gustav IV of Sweden and only a few books survived to the real order of removing the outrageous work from bookshelves. This order sustained his rage against the crown and aristocracy as well the new habits of an emergent bourgeoisie. His following works were read and spreaded by elements of marxist labours. He died in 1870. He never got married or saw his family again. (Rodenlaf (talk) 23:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC))
