Bücher der Reihe Lagerlof in English

The book Marbacka, the first part of a trilogy written in 1922-32, can be read as many different things: memoir, fictionalised autobiography, even part of Lagerlof's myth-making about her own successful career as an author.

Written in 1899, Selma Lagerlof's novella A Manor House Tale is at one and the same time a complex psychological novel and a folk tale, a love story and a Gothic melodrama. It crosses genre boundaries and locates itself in a borderland between reality and fantasy, madness and sanity, darkness and light, possession and loss, life and death.

The curse on the Lowenskold family comes to fruition in unexpected ways in this final volume of the Lowenskold cycle with Anna Svard, the eponymous protagonist, taking full and impressive control of her own life and destiny

A curse rests on the Lowenskold family, as narrated in The Lowenskold Ring. Charlotte Lowenskold is the tale of the following generations, a story of psychological insight and social commentary, and of the complexities of a mother-son relationship.
