This new addition to Norvik Press's well-established 'Lagerlöf in English' series turns the spotlight on the power of short stories. The volume contains a carefully chosen selection of Lagerlöf's most important stories covering a range of themes, genres and periods of her career, translated by our prize-winning trio of Lagerlöf translators, Linda Schenck, Peter Graves and Sarah Death.
Key autobiographical pieces, morality tales both dark and light, legends from several lands and folklore-inspired narratives combine to reveal the breadth and stylistic range of Lagerlöf's storytelling skills.
This is a collection of interest to general readers but also a useful teaching tool for Swedish and comparative literature courses around the world. The book includes a comprehensive and accessible introduction by Lagerlöf specialist Bjarne Thorup Thomsen (University of Edinburgh). The nine stories have been arranged into three thematic sections: Women and Writing; Landscapes, Families and 'Others'; Epochs, Societies and Values.
