Hon gick i högre lärarinneseminariet i Stockholm 1882-1885 för att sedan arbeta som lärarinna i Landskrona 1885-95. Därefter ägnade hon sig helt åt sitt författarskap. Hon bosatte sig 1897 i Falun och flyttade 1909 till sin barndomsgård Mårbacka. 1907 blev hon hedersdoktor vid Uppsala universitet, erhöll Nobelpriset i litteratur 1909 och valdes in i Svenska akademien 1914. Hennes berättarteknik innebar 90-talets genombrott inom prosakonsten. Hennes stil är personlig, lyriskt sublim och talspråksmässigt enkel, impulsiv och fantasifull. Människoskildringen är rikt nyanserad, ofta subjektivt värderande. Inspirerad av sagor och legender byggde hon ofta upp sina berättelser kring folktro och övernaturliga händelser. Bland svenska diktare var hon den som nådde den största läsekretsen, även utanför vårt eget land. (taken from Ur Litteraturhandboken, Forum. ) Biography: Selma Ottiliana Lovisa Lagerlöf was born in Marbacka, Sweden, in 1858. She had been writing poetry ever since she was a child, but she did not publish anything until 1890, when a Swedish newspaper gave her the first prize in a literary competition and published excerpts from her first novel, Gösta Berlings Saga (published in 1891 and very succesfull). During her travelling to Italy she also wrote The Miracles of Antichrist (1897), a novel set in Sicily. After several minor works she published Jerusalem (translated in English as The Holy City) but it was with The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgerson , a book for children, that she became worldwide recognized. She was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909. GBP 15.00 [Appr.: EURO 16.5 US$ 24.81 \| JP¥ 2134] Book number: 092266HK Click here to order or inquire at Thornton's Bookshop.
