Stanley Bloom

Stanley Bloom was born in London, but has lived in Sweden for many years. A graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), he was formerly on the staff of Radio Sweden and has long experience of international and educational broadcasting. For some years he was also a contributor to Radio New Zealand's then Viewpoint programme and has taught English at most levels, written and lectured on a range of subjects, run an intensive course for company employees needing to write documents in English, written, edited and/or translated several works and travels frequently in the English-speaking world, though it would take a lot to make him leave Sweden in the summer, where his favourite place to be is in the Stockholm archipelago.

Two books he has edited by his late brother David are 'Indian Diary', a vivid and at times hilarious account of an odyssey to India in 1973, www.amazon.com/Indian-Diary-David-Bloom-ebook/dp/B00C3OH5XG and a series of reflections about his uncle, Jack Solomons, www.amazon.com/Jolly-Jack-Solomons-David-Bloom-ebook/dp/B00FDPAOTY giving a unique insight into the background, life and achievements of the man who became Britain’s and Europe’s leading boxing promoter in the decades after the Second World War and who has been inducted into both the World Boxing Hall of Fame and the International Boxing World of Fame.
