Translated by: Linda Schenck

A curse rests on the Löwensköld family, as narrated in The Löwensköld Ring. Charlotte Löwensköld is the tale of the following generations, a story of psychological insight and social commentary, and of the complexities of a mother-son relationship. Charlotte is in love with Karl-Arthur both have some Löwensköld blood. Their young love is ill fated; each goes on to marry another. How we make our life 'choices' and what evil forces can be at play around us is beautifully and ironically depicted by Selma Lagerlöf, who was in her sixties when she wrote this tour de force with the lightest imaginable touch.

About Selma LagerloefSelma Lagerlof

Selma Lagerlöf (18581940) was born on a farm in Värmland trained as a teacher and became in her life-time Sweden's most widely translated author ever. Novels such as Gösta Berlings saga (1891; Gösta Berling's Saga) and Jerusalem (190102) helped regenerate Swedish literature and the school reader Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Journey through Sweden (190607) has achieved enduring international fame and popularity. Two very different trilogies the Löwensköld trilogy (192528) and the Mårbacka trilogy (192232) the latter often taken to be autobiographical give some idea of the range and power of Lagerlof's writing. Several of her texts inspired innovative films among them Herr Arnes pengar (Sir Arne's Treasure) directed by Mauritz Stiller (1919) and based on Herr Arnes penningar (1903; Lord Arne's Silver) and Körkarlen (The Phantom Carriage) directed by Victor Sjöström (1921) and based on Lagerlöf's Korkarlen (1912). She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature as the first woman ever in 1909 and elected to the Swedish Academy again as the first woman in 1914. Having been able to buy back the farm of Mårbacka which her family had lost as the result of bankruptcy Lagerlöf spent the last three decades of her life combining her writing with the responsibilities for running a sizeable estate. Her work has been translated into close to 50 languages.
