Frans Eemil Sillanpää
Frans Eemil Sillanpää (September 16 1888 - June 3 1964 ) was one of the most famous Finnish writers.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1939 : for his deep understanding of his country's peasantry and the exquisite art with which he has portrayed their way of life and their relationship with Nature , and he is still the only Finn awarded that prize.
Frans Eemil Sillanpää was born into a peasant family in Hämeenkyrö . Although his parents were poor, they managed to send him to school in Tampere . In 1908 he moved to Helsinki to study medicine. Here his acquaintances included the painter Eero Järnefelt , Jean Sibelius , Juhani Aho and Pekka Halonen .
In 1913 Sillanpää moved from Helsinki to his old home village and devoted himself to writing.
He won international fame for his novel Nuorena nukkunut (The Maid Silja /Fallen Asleep While Young ) in 1931 .
