Den siste Atenaren

"Den siste atenaren" is a novel in Swedish by the Swedish writer Viktor Rydberg (1828-1895). It was first published in the daily newspaper "Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning", starting in February 1859. It also appeared as a book later the same year, with the fifth edition in 1892. An English translation by W. W. Thomas Jr, "The last Athenian", appeared in 1869. The 6th through 14th Swedish editions appeared as volumes 5 and 6 of the author's collected works ("Skrifter", 14 volumes). "Skrifter" also has a commentary by Swedish literature historian Karl Warburg (1852-1918).
