Über den Autor

Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940) holds a distinguished place in Swedish literature as the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, a feat she accomplished in 1909. Her literary career was marked by a profound storytelling ability that interwove fairy tale with realism, a feature that rendered her work universally endearing and critically acclaimed. Lagerlöf was born in Östra Emterwik, Värmland, and drew heavily from her pastoral upbringing in her narratives. Her breakthrough came with her first novel, 'Gösta Berling's Saga' (1891), which was an immediate success in Scandinavia and later gained international recognition. Lagerlöf's work is characterized by its vivid character portrayals, its use of folklore, and its deep humanitarian sentiments. Another of her well-known works is 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils' (1906-1907), which began as a commission from the National Teachers Association to write a geography book for children, but Lagerlöf turned it into a rich tapestry of Swedish landscapes and culture through the lens of a magical fairy tale. Aside from 'The Greatest Christmas Tales & Poems', Lagerlöf's stories often explored themes of redemption and the supernatural, with 'The Phantom Carriage' (1912) being another notable example. Her contributions to literature extend beyond her novels; she has left a legacy of influencing and paving the way for future generations of female authors in Scandinavia and internationally.
