Carl Linnaeus is Sweden's most famous natural scientist. Yet his importance is not confined to the international history of science. As the author of living classics which people still read he can also be said to be a part of Swedish everyday life today.

The Swedes, perhaps, look upon him primarily as a traveller and explorer of their own country, while to others he is the father of the modern classification of flora and fauna. But he was much more than this - an inspiring teacher, for example, who sent his students on voyages of scientific discovery all over the world.
