JERUSALEM (1901-1902) by Selma Lagerlof, first woman author to win
the Nobel Prize in Literature, is a story of Swedish families
caught up in desire and divine exultation.
Homestead tradition and religious inspiration, love and duty,
come in conflict in this inspirational and gently bittersweet
period novel that follows a pilgrimage of the idealist human spirit
of Ingmar Ingmarsson and his kin.
The stories of Jesus' birth and childhood are well known, but Selma
Lagerloef brings them truly to life in this wonderful collection of
tales for children. Her storytelling draws vividly on the colourful
history and landscape of the Holy Land. She weaves in a cast of
lively characters whose experiences and points of view are not
usually represented: a war-hardened soldier at Herod's feast, a
grumpy shepherd, Emperor Tiberius himself. Together they proclaim
the human drama and divine mystery of the events of Christ's life.
Previously published as The Emperor's Vision.
