Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) was a French writer, social theorist, existential philosopher, and activist. She is perhaps most famous for her 1949 treatise, The Second Sex, a foundational work of contemporary feminism. Ahead of her time, she was instrumental in social movements championing the legalisation of abortions in France. Together with her partner, Jean-Paul Sartre, she challenged the cultural and social assumptions of her time. Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, thinking of herself first and foremost as a writer, her influence on contemporary philosophy remains significant.The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.

Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison (1931-2019) is one of the most celebrated authors in the world. Her novels have earned her countless awards such as the Pulitzer Prize as well as the Nobel Prize in Literature, which she was the first African-American woman to win. Her novels are known for their epic themes, exquisite language and richly detailed African American characters who are central to their narratives. Morrison did not publish her first novel, The Bluest Eye, until she was 39 years old. The novel received minimal attention when first published; however, it was placed on many university reading lists in black-studies departments, which promoted further recognition. Later, The New York Times wrote that Morrison's writing is "so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry" about the novel. Other famous works of her are the novels Sula, Beloved and Song of Solomon.The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.

Oscar Wilde
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a German-speaking Czech-Austrian author, regarded as one of the most important writers during the 20th century. He was born and grew up in a middle-class Czech Jewish family in Prague. Later, he trained as a lawyer and after completing his legal education was employed full-time by an insurance company. Hence, he wrote in his spare time and used the experiences from the insurance company as inspiration for his works, which more than once describes a bizarre bureaucracy.However, none of his works were published during his lifetime. In his will, Kafka instructed his executor and friend, Max Brod, to destroy his unfinished works, including his novels The Trial, The Castle, and America. Instead of obeying Kafka's instruction, Brod published his works which later has influenced several writers, critics, artists, and philosophers during the 20th and 21st centuries. Today, Kafka is renowned as one of the greatest interpreters on human exposure in a world where laws and ordinance are superior to the individual.The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.

Janes Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in British Hampshire, and only fifteen years old when she started writing her first novel, Love & Friendship. Shortly after that she began working on a few of her novels that came to be her most famous ones: Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. All of her works are set in the British aristocracy, and Austen uses humor and irony to describe different situations from everyday life. More commonly Austen writes with a note of criticism towards the social conventions and rituals of the aristocracy, that inhibit the characters - first and foremost, the women - in their pursuit to find love and happiness.The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.

Selma Lagerlöf
Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was a Swedish writer and first female recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (1909), as well as the first woman to be granted membership into the Swedish Academy (1914) - the body that awards the prize. Lagerlöf grew up on an estate known as Mårbacka in the Swedish province of Värmland. Her childhood was marred by illness and most of her time was spent at home, either reading or writing. The seeds of her authorship were planted already at seven year old. In 1885, she studied to become a teacher and started her vocation as a schoolteacher, all the while honing her writing on the side. Her first novel, Gösta Berlings Saga was published in 1891; four years later she made the decision to devote herself entirely to writing. Aside from her authorship, Lagerlöf was politically engaged and was an active proponent of female suffrage, speaking at the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in 1911, as well as at the victory party in 1919 once the law had been passed.The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer, Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.
