The Saga of Gösta Berling is one of the most famous books in Swedish literature. An extraordinary combination of folklore and reality, folk legends and traditions with classic plot twists and turns of realistic drama create an extraordinary atmosphere and place this novel among the most original and fascinating works of the nineteenth century. However, these same words apply to all the works of the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf. The Löwenskiöld family trilogy is a magnificent saga spanning five generations, full of mysterious connections, fatal omens, incredible adventures, all against the backdrop of real historical events.
