Description
What happens to an individual who is rejected by society? What happens to a society that eventually realises the living are more important than the dead, and that it is suffering a crisis of values and priorities? What does war do to us and to our outlook on the world? Selma Lagerloef struggled with these issues throughout World War I and experienced a mental block in writing about them. Then she found an opening and produced a thought-provoking tale of love, death and survival that grapples with moral dilemmas as relevant today as they were a century ago. Selma Lagerloef (1858-1940) stablished herself as a major author of novels and short stories, and her work has been translated into close to 50 languages.

Most of the translations into English were made soon after the publication of the original Swedish texts and have long been out of date. This Norvik Press series, `Lagerloef in English', provides English-language readers with high-quality new translations of a selection of the Nobel Laureate's most important texts.
