Nils Holgersson's Wild Geese Journey Through Sweden, as described by Selma Lagerlöf, is one of the most charming and surprising books of the 20th century. If you want to discover the soul and talent of Sweden, look no further. The soul of Sweden is here in this book. It is no coincidence that it spread around the world like wildfire, and it is not for nothing that the writer received the Nobel Prize. The book does not have a direct reader's address. It is written for both children and parents. It was written for us. For everyone. This edition is the most complete text of “Nils’s Travels”, without exceptions or cuts, newly translated into Russian by Sergei Stern.
