Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness!
Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! (Körkarlen) is a novel by Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, first published in 1912 and translated into English in 1922. The story unfolds on New Year's Eve, focusing on David Holm, a drunkard who learns about the Death-Cart—an eerie carriage that collects souls at midnight. As he confronts his past, including his relationship with the dying Edit, the novel explores themes of love, forgiveness, and redemption. This work is notable for its influence on cinema, inspiring the silent film 'The Phantom Carriage' and later adaptations, and is considered rare in English today.
