Gösta Berling

by Selma Lagerlöf

Translated by Margaretha Meijboom

"Gösta Berling" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel published in 1891. A defrocked Lutheran priest is rescued from death and joins a band of eccentric pensioners at a Swedish manor in 1820s Värmland. Together, they seize control of the estate and embark on wild adventures filled with wolves, snow, and supernatural elements. Through romance, scandal, and chaos, the charming poet Gösta Berling leads his fellow revelers toward redemption in this prose epic of Swedish country life.
