Selma Lagerlöf

Introduction

Selma Lagerlöf was the first Swede and the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. The Story of a Country House is a short novel that gives the reader a good taste of Lagerlöf's style. Lagerlöf has keen psychological instincts and maintains a fantastic uncertainty in the reader: Is this real or a hallucination?
