Excerpt: Jorgen-Frantz Jacobsen (November 29, 1900 - March 24, 1938) occupies a distinct place in Scandinavian literature. He is the only Faroese writer to achieve international best-seller status.

Jorgen-Frantz Jacobsen was born 29 November 1900 in Torshavn. His father, the merchant Martin Meinhardt Jacobsen, had Faroese, Swedish, and Danish blood in his veins and, having been born and spent his childhood in Copenhagen, was mainly Danish speaking. His mother, Maren Frederikke Mikkelsen was thoroughly Faroese.
