One afternoon Akka from Kebnekaise and her flock alighted on the shore of a forest lake. Spring was backward -- as it always is in the mountain districts. Ice covered all the lake save a narrow strip next the land. The geese at once plunged into the water to bathe and hunt for food. In the morning Nils Holgersson had dropped one of his wooden shoes, so he went down by the elms and birches that grew along the shore, to look for something to bind around his foot. The boy walked quite a distance before he found anything that he could use. He glanced about nervously, for he did not fancy being in the forest. "Give me the plains and the lakes!" he thought. "There you can see what you are likely to meet. Now, if this were a grove of little birches, it would be well enough, for then the ground would be almost bare; but how people can like these wild, pathless forests is incomprehensible to me. If I owned this land I would chop down every tree."

Gosta Berling's Saga

Gosta Berling's Saga

G sta Berling is a failed parson in nineteenth century rural Sweden, too fond of pleasure and the drink, torn by conflicting aims -- the charm and deceit, love and laziness in him fighting for supremacy. He teams together with a group of sometimes dissolute, often well-meaning freemen of their district to evict the seemingly mad owner of a great rambling house at the centre of its own semi-feudal estate, Ekeby. This group call themselves the cavaliers.In her telling of what happens next, Lagerl f creates a strange fusion between the realism of authors like Ibsen and Strindberg and the mythic force of the Scandinavian sagas. G sta's great loves, his enemies, those to whom he teaches lessons about life, either intentionally or accidentally, and others whose stories he has only a small part in, all start up from the page into a strange, elemental clarity, creating a sprawling mosaic of romance and realism.This first novel from the deeply original mind of the 1909 Nobel Prize winner weaves a balance between everyday rural reality and underlying dreams and fable to create a patchwork of extraordinary complexity and looming fascination, in which the reader can detect the author's passion for the stories of her country, and her sceptical warmth for the troubled human spirit.

The Swedish novelist Selma Lagerlof (1858 - 1940) was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature (1909).

Set on the shores of Lake Fryken, Lake L ven in the story, in V rmland, a historical province in Sweden, the novel employs elements of magic realism to project an exotic image of early 19th century Sweden. Described in the "Encyclopedia Americana" as a "prose epic of Swedish country life," "The Saga of G sta Berling" remains to this day one of Lagerl f's most popular works and an undisputed classic of Swedish romanticism.

"The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" is the children's classic by Swedish author Selma Lagerlof. Lagerlof published her charming coming-of-age tale in 1906 after being commissioned by the National Teachers Association of Sweden in 1902 to write a geography reading book for children in public schools. "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" centers around the travels of its main character, a young boy named Nils Holgersson, who begins the tale causing mischief and harming the animals on his family's farm. Left home alone one day while his family is at church, Nils captures a tomte, a small, gnome-like character from Swedish folklore. Nils is not kind to the little creature and as punishment Nils is turned into a tomte as well. Nils then leaves the farm before his family returns and joins a flock of wild geese. Nils accompanies the geese all over Sweden, where he observes all the unique qualities of the different provinces of the country and has many adventures. The experiences make Nils into a better and more mature person. Children and adults alike will be charmed by the descriptions of the natural world combined with Swedish folklore in this entertaining and adventurous tale. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of Velma Swanston Howard, and is illustrated by Mary Hamilton Frye.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The Treasure is an opposite fairy tale, presenting Prince Charming as he really is: an orphan girl is cleaning fish and foreseeing her life of poverty; a man well-dressed in seductive splendor woos her and offers her ... forever after. There is only one catch: she must betray her sister. Although Selma Lagerlof won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1909, her name is known in this country - if at all - as author of a children's book only. All her other works, including novels and feminist essays, have been unavailable in English for almost fifty years.
