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been out of date.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.
