Eva Gabrielsson

In this interview by the Swedish national televsision, Stieg Larsson's life companion Eva Gabrielsson reveals the truth behind the man that was Stieg Larsson. She discusses her claims in the controversy surrounding Stieg's legacy as well as her claims for a part of the royalty. 

Eva Gabrielsson is about to pubslish a book about her life after the sudden death of Stieg Larsson called Stieg & Moi. Stieg & Moi is written by Eva Gabrielsson and Marie Francois Colombani and comes out the 19 Jan 2011. The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet has read a rawcopy of the book and can reveal several interesting scoops.

Eva says in the book that she could finish the fourth manuscript but is, as of this moment unable to due to the legal dispute between her and Stieg Larsson's father and brother. The Swedish title of the fourh book is also told, and is said to be "Guds hämd" (english translation: God's revenge).

In the interview with the Swedish national television Eva Gabrielsson talks about how she was often afraid of something terrible to happen, that Stieg would be murdered because of his political views and actions.

"I always thought that the police would come and tell me that he had been shot or stabbed to death".

I just finished Eva Gabrielsson's book. When she said she and Steig talked marriage, bought rings but were always too busy over the coarse of 30 years to get it done, is a real irony considering what has happened to her. Always protect yourself in any relationship! I hope father and brother come to terms with her. These men had nothing to do with the writing of the triology and only have his money because of Swedish law. I saw the interview of the men on 60 minutes and watched them paint a very different picture of their lives with Steig than the one Eva portrays. I really hope Eva gets the literary rights to Steig's work so that the forth book can be finished and released.

I think the real author of the trillogy is Eva Gabrielsson for some non clear reasons the books were signed by Stig Larsson . I am pretty sure if she publishes the fourth book finally, we are going to understand the real mindset complex's Salander, so far the readers we just entertained reading a thriller which has the most particular main characther Lisbeth .

I feel really sorry for all the inconvenience is Eva having since her ex husband passed away and I feel so annoyed about the Swedish laws , even in Latin America a partner de facto has rights over the properties made during the relationship.

Let this be a lesson to all women. Assume control of your life! They should have married. At the very least, Mr. Larsson should have written a will protecting his partner & love, Ms. Gabrielsson & Ms. Garrielsson should have insisted on it! How ironic that Mr. Larsson worked for the rights of women he didn't know while failing to protect the rights of the woman who worked along side him for 30 years! That said, I am hooked on "The Girl.." triology & couldn't put them down! This body of work is excellent!

- Bernie Ward, 26 February 2012

Yeah, you are right. Why did he obmitted the rights of his girlfriend?

I really love his stories and wish hard that Ms Gabrielsson will get the literacy rights to continue the 4th book. In fact, I do hope that Lisbeth & Mikael be together. May God bless her to get the rights soon!

- Linda, 2 May 2012

If there is an unresolved conflict between Ms Gabrielsson and Larsson's family, has anyone considered the possibility that there could co-exist more than one, indeed many, versions of Book #4 and on? If you are aware of the Jane Austen phenomenon of literally hundreds of sequels written by Austen fans (check it out if you don't know about this!) -- it suggests to me that Eva can write more, and so can the brother write his versions, and then we can enjoy them all. And they can go on and on. It works for Austen fans, why not for Stieg Larsson lovers? (Don't tell me, I don't want to think about millions of dollars profits for them to dispute over).

I am apalled by the Swedish Government and their archaic laws against females. I am a person who makes my judgement based on hearing both sides of the story. It would be helpful to get information from both Stieg's and Eva's friends and family in the form of a written affidavits before judging them. Then people can make a more informed judgement to make their decisions about who has the right to inherit the money and rights to Stieg's works. Personnally, by reading Eva's biography, I find their psychiatrist did good by having a writen document to justify Eva. From the information in her biography, I lean towards Eva.

For those who have already made nasty comments, you should do a thorough research. Shame on you!!!!! How can you make such a statement before judging others? Do you know what you are even blabbing about?

As for the Swedish Government, I will lobby against their archaic laws by having people I know refrain from touring Sweden. This will hurt the government by not benefiting economically until drastic changes to their anti-feminist system are made. I know this may sound cruel to let Swedes suffer, but this is the only way I know to do this. If any other person has an idea to make the Swedish Government change their laws, I am for them. Also I would like it made retroactive so "Common Law, Partners or Significant Others" may claim what is rightfullly entitled to them.

Eva please compromise with Stieg's family let them give you your home & publising rights to the manuscript you have & royalties from sales of it .I think you owe that to Stieg's Millennium readers .My heart goes out to you for your loss of an amazing man I'm sure he couldn't have written the books without his partner you Eva .Let his series be complete maybe you can continue the series

- Edith von der Heide Australia, 19 February 2012

@Edith....Compromise! The family take all that Eva is entitled to and you expect her to concede just so you can get another book!

Eva obviously has morals & principles that shouldn't be broken...

Too bad Stieg died so young and before success was his!

- Randall roske, 13 February 2012

Thats life .Eva can keep the series going she must know how Stieg thought & discussed with her & I'm sure she checked everything out

- Denis McGrath, 19 February 2012

Com certeza Eva sabia dos planos De Stieg ,acho que ela deveria continuar a trilogia.......

- Flávia/Brasil, 20 Mars 2012

I feel the same way too, I think that after living with him for so long and having the same believes she can continue the series. I hope that someday his father and brother can give her what is rightfully hers.

I think Eva Gabrielsson has handled herself with enourmous dignity in light of the events which have transpired after the death of her life partner Stieg Larson. Any fair minded person who believes justice for all would agree.

The legacy

Controversy surrounding the legacy

Stieg left no written will, and according to Swedish law, Stieg's full estate was inherited by his father and brother. This sparked a dispute between them and Stieg's life companion Eva Gabrielsson, who was left with nothing. The situation is complicated by the fact that Eva controls the script for the 4th book in the Millennium series.
