Autor

Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940) was a pioneering Swedish author and the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, an honor she received in 1909. Her narratives, characterized by their vivid storytelling and affinity for folk traditions, redefined Swedish literature. Lagerlöf's literary career began with the publication of her first novel 'Gösta Berling's Saga' in 1891, which was an instant success in Sweden. She is perhaps best known internationally for 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgersson', a book initially intended as a geography reader for schools, yet it transcended its educational purpose to enchant readers worldwide with its fairy-tale quality and profound humanity. Lagerlöf's works often wove together the mythical and the realistic, which is a defining feature of her unique literary style. Throughout her life, Lagerlöf was a committed advocate for social change and women's rights, themes which often found their way into her writings. The 'HOLIDAY Ultimate Collection' showcases a comprehensive array of Lagerlöf's profound and heartwarming tales, reflecting her status as a central figure in Swedish literature. Lagerlöf's contributions to literature not only earned her a place as a member of the Swedish Academy but also cemented her legacy as an author whose works continue to inspire and captivate readers around the globe.
