Description
This new addition to Norvik Press's well-established `Lagerl?f in English' series turns the spotlight on the power of short stories.?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 Lagerl?f'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 Lagerl?f 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.
