Translated by Velma Swanston Howard

Jerusalem, written by Selma Lagerlöf and first published in 1901, follows the Ingmarsson family, particularly Ingmar Ingmarsson, as he confronts his past and the moral dilemmas tied to his family's legacy. The novel explores themes of idealism, sacrifice, and the tension between tradition and faith, set against the backdrop of a religious revival in a rural Swedish community. Lagerlöf's work is notable for its deep psychological insight and its reflection on societal expectations, making it a significant piece of early 20th-century Swedish fiction.
