Selma Lagerlöf

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING

When I was five years old I had such a great sorrow I hardly know if I have had a greater since. It was then my grandmother died. Up to that time, she used to sit every day on the corner sofa in her room, and tell stories. I remember that grandmother told story after story from morning till night, and that we children sat beside her, quite still, and listened. It was a glorious life No other children had such happy times as we did. It isn't much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair, and stooped when she walked, and that she always sat and knitted a stocking.

Kolme lempeää moraliteettia Lagerlöfin tapaan. Ensimmäisessä kihlapari matkustaa sulhasen enon luokse tarkoituksenaan mielistellä ennakkoperinnön saamiseksi, mutta sulhanen menee kuitenkin liian pitkälle. Toisessa kuningas Kustaa tarvitsee alamaisiltaan apua varojen keruuseen taas yhtä sotaa varten. Pienessä kylässä hän kuulee papilta metsässä olevasta hopeavuoresta. Kolmannessa kertomuksessa on viisaita neuvoja antava valokuva. Kunhan vain osaa kuunnella. Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) oli ruotsalainen kirjailija. Hän oli ensimmäinen nainen, joka sai Nobelin kirjallisuuspalkinnon 1909 ja Ruotsin akatemian ensimmäinen naisjäsen vuodesta 1914.

Svobodnyj pereskaz Z. Zadunajskoj i A. Ljubarskoj. Selma Lagerljof - vsemirno izvestnaja shvedskaja pisatelnitsa, pervaja zhenschina, kotoraja poluchila Nobelevskuju premiju po literature. Svoju samuju znamenituju knigu pro puteshestvie Nilsa s gusjami ona napisala, kogda rabotala uchitelnitsej v shkole. Vot uzhe bolee sta let etu istoriju chitajut shkolniki vsego mira. Malchik Nils - prokaznik i zabijaka - ne upustit sluchaja djornut kota za khvost ili podraznit ptits. No odnazhdy gnom prevratit ego v kroshechnogo chelovechka, i Nilsu pridjotsja uznat, kakovo eto - byt malenkim i slabym. Blagodarja novym znakomym - dikim gusjam - on pojmjot, kak vazhny v zhizni vzaimovyruchka, predannost i druzhba. Odnako snachala emu predstoit perezhit zakhvatyvajuschie prikljuchenija, projti cherez neljogkie ispytanija i obresti nastojaschikh druzej. Dlja detej mladshego shkolnogo vozrasta.

Vysoko v gorakh v lesnoj peschere zhil razbojnik, navodivshij uzhas na vsju okrugu. Kak-to raz zhena razbojnika vmeste s detmi pozhalovala v Ovedskij monastyr za podajaniem. Monastyrskij tsvetnik ne vpechatlil razbojnitsu - ona povedala nastojatelju, chto v rozhdestvenskuju noch v ikh lesu raspuskajutsja volshebnye tsvety, ravnykh kotorym net vo vsem Skone. Staryj nastojatel mechtaet uvidet chudo svoimi glazami. No mozhno li doverjat slovam poproshajki? Etu prekrasnuju skazku o vere, proschenii i nastojaschem rozhdestvenskom chude sochinila znamenitaja shvedskaja pisatelnitsa Selma Lagerljof. Dlja mladshego shkolnogo vozrasta.

The Miracles of Antichrist is a philosophical novel by Selma Lagerl f. Written as a love story between a young socialist and atheist Gaetano and Donna Micaela who is a Christian, the novel in fact represents author's criticism of socialism. The plot of the novel was inspired by a Sicilian legend: "When Antichrist comes, he shall seem as Christ", and the story centers around the antichrist in the form of a statue that Micaela prays to which seems to perform apparent miracles that are indistinguishable from those of Christ.

Da Selma Lagerlöf var liten, så liten at hun måtte bli hjemme fra kirken juleaften, hørte hun for første gang farmoren fortelle historien om Jesu fødsel. Det var en fortellerstund som fant sted i den hyggelige hjørnesofaen i farmorens værelse, en vakker, fortryllet verden, hvor farmoren rundet av med ordene: "OG alt det jeg har fortalt, er like sant som at jeg ser deg og du ser meg."
