Paperback / softback
Description
The property of Marbacka in Varmland was where Selma Lagerloef grew up, immersed in a tradition of storytelling.
Financial difficulties led to the loss of the house, but Lagerloef was later able to buy it back, rebuild and make it the centre of her world.
The book Marbacka, the first part of a trilogy written in 1922-32, can be read as many different things: memoir, fictionalised autobiography, even part of Lagerloef's myth-making about her own successful career as an author.
It is part social and family history, part mischievous satire in the guise of innocent, first-person child narration, part declaration of filial love.
