As YET the only woman winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the prize awarded to Kipling, Maeterlinck, and Hauptmann, is the Swedish author of this book, Jerusalem. The Swedish A cademy, in recognizing Miss Selma Lagerlof, declared that they did so for reason of the noble idealism, the wealth of imagination, the soulful quality of style, which characterize her works. Five years later, in 1914, that august body elected Doctor Lagerlof into their fellowship, and she is thus the only woman among those eighteen immortals. What is the secret of the power that has made Miss Lagerlof an author acknowledged not alone as a classic in the schools but also as the most popular and generally beloved writer in Scandinavia? She entered Swedish literature at a period when the cold gray star of realism was in the ascendant, when the trenchant pen of Strindberg had swept away the cobwebs of unreality, and people were accustomed to plays and novels almost brutal in their frankness.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Selma Lagerl?f won the Nobel Prize in 1909, and was the first woman to do so, and was also the first Swedish writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. She was so popular that her books were translated into 34 languages.. Her novels describe her homeland of Sweden, and in Jerusalem the focus is on the province of Dalecarlia. The novel describes how a Chicago mystic sparks a religious revival in the community that leads people to sell their possessions and conduct a mass pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Excerpt from JerusalemA young man was ploughing his field one summer morning. The sun was shining brightly, the grass was wet with dew, and the air was so fresh that words cannot describe it. The horses were frisky from the morning air, and pulled the plough as if it were a toy. It was quite a different pace from their usual one; the ploughman had almost to run to keep up with them.When the earth was turned by the plough, it lay a blackish brown, rich with moisture and fatness, and the plougher rejoiced at the prospect of soon being able to sow his rye. He thought to himself: How is it that sometimes I have so many misgivings, and think that life is so hard? Is anything needed but sunshine and fair weather to make me as happy as one of God's children in heaven P'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
