Svend Åge Madsen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈsvɛnˀ ˈɔːʊ ˈmæsn̩] born 2 November 1939) is a Danish novelist. He studied mathematics before he began writing fiction. His novels are generally philosophical and humorous. Several of his works have been made into films in Denmark. His writings are extensive and has been translated into many languages.
Madsen's writing style and philosophy have placed him amongst the most distinguished and widely read authors in Denmark today. His novels reflect the grave problems faced by modern civilisation, and a number of them have achieved cult status in Denmark. The interplay between quasi-realism and complete fantasy in Svend Åge Madsen’s novels leads to contemplation of the indefinable nature of human existence.
Den unge, generte Esben bliver puffet ud af barndomshjemmet i Virring og flytter ind til Aarhus, hvor han får job i et forsikringsselskab. Her lever han et stille liv med livrem og seler, og særligt når det kommer til piger, holder han helst en god sikkerhedsafstand. Men da han møder Tessa, er det kærlighed ved første blik, og en helt almindelig historie om forelskelse, flyttekasser og fremtidsdrømme tager sin begyndelse. Tessa er bare ikke helt almindelig.
ESBENS FIRE LIV er en historie om menneskets utrolige evne til at forbinde sig. En roman om menneskelig bevidsthed og kunstig intelligens, om tro, håb og ærlighed.
