5.0 out of 5 stars
A Moving Tale of Separation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jerusalem (Hardcover)
Selma Lagerlof's Jerusalem is one of my favourite books of all time. Anyone who speaks more than one language knows that to read a book in a language other than your native tongue can be a tiresome challenge. As a native English speaker, I was a little wary of reading this book in Swedish. However, the characters were so engaging, Lagerlof's descriptions of life in 19th century rural Sweden so beautiful, that I forgot that I was reading in Swedish. Even if you can't read the original I would recommend the English language version. Tales of separation and conflict surrounding differing religious beliefs are universal and Lagerlof depicts them brilliantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars
unfortunate misunderstanding,
By Ulrica Jonsson (Goteborg, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jerusalem. (Hardcover)
This is really a message to the previous reviewer, Rowena Suryobroto. It seems that you have missed THE SECOND HALF of the novel! ( Jerusalem has often been published in two parts, and the second part begins with the group reaching Israel.) Start looking for the second part right away!! Judging from what you thought of Selma Lagerlof's other works, you'll absolutely love Jerusalem, it's every bit as good as The General's ring. With the same insights into people's minds and hearts, Jerusalem is a story of goodness, love and loyalty, and of people ( finally ) realising what's important to them personally and standing up for that, no matter what others may think. Without giving away too much I'd just like to say that the ending is everything you might wish for, it leaves you fulfilled and with a smile on your face and in your heart.

Jerusalem,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jerusalem: A Novel (Paperback)
Selma Lagerlof is too little known in the English speaking world. This book is profound and deeply moving.
