Biography
Ludwik Bruner (1871–1913) was a Polish writer who published under the pen name Jan Sten. Born in Warsaw, he trained as a chemist, and alongside that training he worked in literature as a critic, poet, short-story writer and translator. The Polish Wikipedia entry files him under the pen name, with his birth name given in the opening line.
He wrote verse and prose, reviewed books, and translated from other languages in the years before his death in 1913. Few details of his private life are recorded in the sources available, so the picture of his career rests mostly on his published writing and on the short Polish Wikipedia entry. He belongs to a generation of Polish writers who worked across several genres at once, and his range is part of what makes his work worth reading.
The site holds his collection Jeden miesiąc życia: utwory prozą, which gathers his prose works under the title One Month of Life. Readers who want to meet him in Polish will find it a useful first encounter, and it shows him as a prose writer rather than only as a critic. The biography is written from a single Polish source, so treat its details with care.
