The Greatest Works of Selma Lagerlöf: The Story of Gösta Berling, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness, Jerusalem Sep 18, 2020

e-artnow presents this meticulously edited and formatted Selma Lagerlöf collection.
Selma Lagerlöf was a Swedish author and teacher. She was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Through her studies in Stockholm, Lagerlöf reacted against the realism of contemporary Swedish-language writers such as August Strindberg. She began her first novel, Gösta Berling's Saga, while working as a teacher in Landskrona in 1887. A visit in 1900 to the American Colony in Jerusalem became the inspiration for Lagerlöf's book by that name. The royal family and the Swedish Academy gave her substantial financial support to continue her passion. Jerusalem was also acclaimed by critics, who began comparing her to Homer and Shakespeare, so that she became a popular figure both in Sweden and abroad. By 1895, she gave up her teaching to devote herself to her writing. In 1902, Lagerlöf was asked by the National Teacher's Association to write a geography book for children. She wrote The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, a novel about a boy from the southernmost part of Sweden, who had been shrunk to the size of a thumb and who travelled on the back of a goose across the country. Lagerlöf mixed historical and geographical facts about the provinces of Sweden with the tale of the boy's adventures until he managed to return home and was restored to his normal size. The novel is one of Lagerlöf's most well-known books, and it has been translated into more than 30 languages.

Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige (Swedish Edition) Sep 15, 2014

by Selma Lagerlöf

( 38 )

$0.99

Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige är en roman av Selma Lagerlöf, utgiven i två delar 1906–1907. Romanen var ursprungligen skriven som läsebok i svensk geografi och ingick i serien Läseböcker för Sveriges barndomsskolor. Den handlar om Nils Holgersson, en pojke som blir förvandlad till en pyssling och som på ryggen av en gås får resa genom hela Sverige. Trots att den var tänkt som läsebok i inrikesgeografi har boken översatts till många språk.

Nils på gåskarlens rygg är en välkänd bild, som ger de flesta associationer till denna bok.

Una rectoría en la Suecia profunda, una madrastra, una joven y una sirvienta que es una niña viven amores y aventuras en una historia mágica y conmovedora de Selma Lagerlöf, Premio Nobel de Literatura 1909.

Suecia, 1800. Eleonora, de tan solo trece años y a la que todos conocen como «Pequeñita», entra a trabajar en la rectoría de Lövdala el día de Nochebuena. Allí viven el bondadoso pastor Lyselius, su hija de diecisiete años, Maja Lisa, huérfana de madre, y su madrastra, la señora Raklitz, hija de un trompetista alemán.
Maja Lisa, que adora a su padre, cuenta el cuento de Blancanieves como si fuera su propia historia y Pequeñita se va dando cuenta de que, en realidad, la señora Raklitz la maltrata y que Maja no quiere decírselo a su padre por lo delicado que está del corazón.
Así, la joven conoce un día al herrero de la finca Henriksberg. Le atrae, pero hay algo oscuro en él. Más tarde, cuando ella y Pequeñita están de visita en casa de una tía, conocen al pastor Liljecrona, quien les habla de su hermano Sven, el administrador de Henriksberg, un hombre que ama la música y, sin embargo, no ha vuelto a tocar. Cuando este llega a la casa, Maja Lisa se da cuenta de que se trata del herrero. Su melancolía sigue ahí.
¿Qué aventuras vivirá Pequeñita en la casa? ¿Qué sucederá con los jóvenes enamorados? ¿Cómo reaccionará la madrastra?

The Miracles of Antichrist Sep 18, 2020

by Selma Lagerlöf, Pauline Bancroft Flach

( 4 )

$0.99

The Miracles of Antichrist is a philosophical novel by Selma Lagerlöf. Written as a love story between a young socialist and atheist Gaetano and Donna Micaela who is a Christian, the novel in fact represents author's criticism of socialism. The plot of the novel was inspired by a Sicilian legend: "When Antichrist comes, he shall seem as Christ", and the story centers around the antichrist in the form of a statue that Micaela prays to which seems to perform apparent miracles that are indistinguishable from those of Christ.

So herrlich verspielt, so wunderbar einfallsreich kann ein Schulbuch sein! Als die spätere Nobelpreisträgerin Selma Lagerlöf 1901 den Auftrag erhielt, ein Lesebuch für den Unterricht an schwedischen Schulen zu schreiben, erfand sie kurzerhand die weltberühmte Geschichte des aufmüpfigfrechen Nils Holgersson: Zur Strafe für einen bösen Streich in ein Wichtelmännchen verwandelt, schließt er sich auf dem Rücken des zahmen Gänserichs Martin einer Gruppe von Wildgänsen an, und nach zahlreichen Abenteuern winkt ihm das Glück wahrer Freundschaft. Lagerlöfs Kinderbuchklassiker ist bis heute ein bezauberndes Lesevergnügen für Jung und Alt.

Christ Legends Feb 6, 2014

$0.99

When I was five years old I had such a great sorrow! I hardly know if I have had a greater since.

It was then my grandmother died. Up to that time, she used to sit every day on the corner sofa in her room, and tell stories.

I remember that grandmother told story after story from morning till night, and that we children sat beside her, quite still, and listened. It was a glorious life! No other children had such happy times as we did.

It isn’t much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair, and stooped when she walked, and that she always sat and knitted a stocking.

And I even remember that when she had finished a story, she used to lay her hand on my head and say: “All this is as true, as true as that I see you and you see me.”

I also remember that she could sing songs, but this she did not do every day. One of the songs was about a knight and a sea-troll, and had this refrain: “It blows cold, cold weather at sea.”

Then I remember a little prayer she taught me, and a verse of a hymn.
