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.

“Strange, when you ask anyone's advice you see yourself what is right. Even while you are asking, you discover all at once what you hadn't been able to find out in three whole years.””

— Selma Lagerlöf

“Och det är människans största lycka att få bygga upp vad hon själv behöver och visa vad hon duger till, och därför måste det gamla bort.””

— Selma Lagerlöf

“Jag tänkte, att om detta och allt annat, som människor hade upprättat på denna jorden, hade fått finnas kvar, så skulle den vara alldeles uppfylld av härlighet. För man ser vid varje steg, som man tar där ute, hur obeskrivligt grant där har varit. Men så kom jag att tänka på att om allt detta hade funnits kvar, så hade vi, som nu levde, ingenting att ta oss till, för då behövdes inte vårt arbete.””

— Selma Lagerlöf

“- Jag kom ihåg från fordom, att du brukade smyga dig undan hit, när du hade en ledig stund, för att sitta och sörja.- Jag hade inte mycket att sörja över på den tiden.- Den sorg du inte hade, den hittade du på åt dig.””

— Selma Lagerlöf

“På bron fanns inte en människa, som kunde höra dem. Det var deras hemlands blåa kullar, älvens gråa vatten och de bugande träden som de sjöng till. De skulle aldrig se dem mer, och ur strupar, som tillsnördes av gråt, trängde avskedssången.””

— Selma Lagerlöf
