Gösta Berling's Saga by Selma Lagerlöf

The first woman to receive the Nobel Prize for literature (1909), Selma Lagerlöf assured her place in Swedish letters with this, her first book. Originally published in 1891, Gösta Berling's Saga is widely acclaimed as Lagerlöf's finest work, and it is certainly her most popular (the silent movie version of the 1920s launched Greta Garbo's international career). The narrative of a former clergyman and a dozen Swedish cavaliers, it embodies figures from Scandinavian legends in an epic tapestry of passions. Unabridged republication of the edition published by the American Scandinavian Foundation, New York, 1918.
