Autorenporträt
Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940), the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909, is an iconic figure in Swedish literary history. An illustrious storyteller, Lagerlöf was born in the Värmland region of Sweden and drew heavily from her rural upbringing to infuse her writing with a strong sense of place and folklore. Her storytelling prowess is exemplified vividly in works such as 'The Holy Night & Other Christmas Stories' where Lagerlöf weaves tales imbued with the spiritual and the miraculous, illuminating the depths of human experience and emotion. With a literary career that spanned over fifty years, Lagerlöf made significant contributions to Swedish literature, including classics like 'Gösta Berlings Saga' (1891) and 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils' (1906), which combined lyrical prose with captivating narratives. Lagerlöf's work is distinguished by its vivid characterizations, its compassionate humanism, and its blending of realism with romance, an approach that has ensured her stories continue to be read and cherished. Influencing generations of writers, Lagerlöf's enduring works not only reflect her literary genius but also her commitment to societal issues, such as peace and women's rights, making her legacy an intrinsic part of both Scandinavian culture and global literature.
