Finnish author. Waltari wrote plays, detective stories, and travelogues, but is best known for his novels. After completing his university education in Helsinki he lived for a brief time in Paris, where he wrote Suuri illusioni [the great illusion] (1928), one of the important Finnish novels in the period between the two world wars. He was a leading figure among the “Torchbearers,” a literary circle celebrating urban life in the 1920s. From Father to Son (1936), a historical novel, was followed by the series of historical novels that Waltari wrote after World War II. The Egyptian (1945, tr. 1949), set in Egypt c.1000 B.C., is the work that brought him international fame. Other novels include The Etruscan (1955, tr. 1957) and The Roman (1964, tr. 1966).

Prolific Finnish writer, best-known for his historical novels, especially The Egyptian (originally SINUHE, EGYPTILÄINEN), which appeared in 1945.

With Väinö Linna's Unknown Soldier his books are found from the average Finnish bookshelf. Recurrent theme in Waltari's work is the fate of humanist values in a materialist world. After World War II Waltari took the large-scale historical novels as means to express his pessimism and Christian world view.

Mika Waltari (1908-79) is among the Finnish prose writers best known to an international audience. He wrote his most successful novels in the 1940s and 50's, many of them on historical subjects; among these is Sinuhe egyptiläinen (The Egyptian, 1945), a novel set in ancient Egypt, about the collapse of traditional ways of life and the inflation of inherited values. It's also been filmed into a dreary Hollywood spectacle.

Teoksessaan "Ihmisen ääni" (1978) Mika Waltari sanoo, ettei hän koskaan toivottanut kirjoilleen pitkää ikää, mutta "olen käsittänyt kirjailijan tehtäväkseni ilmaista kirjoissani ja ainakin rivien välissä aavistuttaa mitä minä olen tarkoittanut ja tarkoitan teoksillani vielä sitten, kun olen tomua ja tuhkaa. Jos onnistun herättämään nuoret aivot ajattelemaan ja hehkumaan uuden maailman luomiseksi, ilman sotia, aseita ja väkivaltaa, silloin henkilökohtainen kuolemani ja sen ajankohta on kokonaan toisarvoinen".
