Produktbeschreibung

In "Charlotte Löwensköld," Selma Lagerlöf weaves a richly textured narrative that explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of human relationships. This novel, steeped in the tradition of Scandinavian realism, delves into the life of Charlotte, a young woman caught in the throes of social expectation and personal desire. Lagerlöf's lyrical prose and vivid characterizations shine through as she grapples with existential questions and the societal constraints of her time, making the work both a poignant character study and a broader commentary on gender roles in early 20th century Sweden. Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, was notably inspired by her own experiences in rural Sweden and her interactions with folklore, which significantly influenced her storytelling approach. Renowned for her ability to merge the mystical with the mundane, Lagerlöf's background as a teacher and a passionate advocate for women's rights fueled her desire to depict women's inner lives and struggles, making "Charlotte Löwensköld" a compelling addition to her oeuvre. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in feminist literature and the exploration of identity within cultural confines. Lagerlöf's masterful narrative will resonate with readers who appreciate complex characters and the intricate dance between personal aspiration and societal pressure.

Autorenporträt

Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was born on a farm in Värmland, trained as a teacher and became, in her life-time, Sweden's most widely translated author ever. Novels such as Gösta Berlings saga (1891; Gösta Berling's Saga) and Jerusalem (1901-02) helped regenerate Swedish literature, and the school reader, Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Journey through Sweden (1906-07), has achieved enduring international fame and popularity. Two very different trilogies, the Löwensköld trilogy (1925-28) and the Mårbacka trilogy (1922-32), the latter often taken to be autobiographical, give some idea of the range and power of Lagerlöf's writing. Several of her texts inspired innovative films, among them Herr Arnes pengar (Sir Arne's Treasure), directed by Mauritz Stiller (1919) and based on Herr Arnes penningar (1903; Lord Arne's Silver), and Körkarlen (The Phantom Carriage), directed by Victor Sjöström (1921) and based on Lagerlöf's Körkarlen (1912). She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, as the first woman ever, in 1909, and elected to the Swedish Academy, again as the first woman, in 1914. Having been able to buy back the farm of Mårbacka, which her family had lost as the result of bankruptcy, Lagerlöf spent the last three decades of her life combining her writing with the responsibilities for running a sizeable estate. Her work has been translated into close to 50 languages.
