I can see before me the little town, friendly as a home. It is so small that I know its every hole and corner, am friends with all the children and know the name of every one of its dogs. Who ever walked up the street knew to which window he must raise his eyes to see a lovely face behind the panes, and who ever strolled through the town park knew well whither he should turn his steps to meet the one he wished to meet.

Short Stories of the Swedish People By A Customer Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) is one of the most well-known literary figures to have come out of Sweden, particularly after she became the first woman to receive the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909. As an avid supporter of causes such as women's rights and world peace, her thoughts and concerns are equally valid today.Invisible Links is the first in a series of reprints of Selma Lagerlöf's works from Penfield Press. This collection of Lagerlöf's earlier short stories depicts the Swedish people, their lives and struggles, through glimpses into their souls. This updated edition is an abridged version of Pauline Bancroft Flach's 1899 translation, except "The Epitaph," that was included in the Swedish collection and translated by Jessie Brochner.Selma Lagerlöf's storytelling includes elements of folk legends, fairy tales, and dreams. There are avenging ghosts and ghosts with good advice; there are tragic and happy endings. Her wise, compassionate voice narrates tales that are both dramatic and perplexing.There are lighter stories. "Uncle Reuben" is a comic fable about the use of family legends to keep children in line. "Downie" is a love story set in springtime. And "Among the Climbing Roses" is about the insect friends to be found in the summer garden. Lively and intimate observations of the natural world are woven through all the stories, lending them an authentic beauty.Lagerlöf explores the boundaries between illusion and reality, good and evil, the forces of life and destruction. Her stories do not come up with easy answers. What is certain is that the meanings human beings create, the links-or fetters-connecting them with the world, are nothing less than sacred. In Lagerlöf's fiction, this conviction becomes the lifeblood of the storyteller and reader alike.

Quite a lot of myth and magic By sally tarbox Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)After giving up on Lagerlof's better known 'Gosta Berling', I thought I would try this volume of thirteen of her short stories. I would rate these as extremely variable, between 4/5 for those set in the real world, and 2/5 for the numerous ones with a faerie element - during the latter my concentration kept wandering.There are some lovely descriptions of the Swedish countryside, and thoughts on life and religion. I enjoyed 'The Legend of the Bird's Nest', where Hatto the Hermit, a curmudgeonly old man 'who drove the little children away from his hole telling them that it had been best for them if they had never been born', finds a family of birds nesting in his hand as he stands still, and comes to understand God's love:'Perhaps,when all was said, God the Father held this earth in His right hand like a big bird's nest, and perhaps He had come to cherish love for all those who build and dwell there.'Didn't leave me with any great wish to read more of Ms Lagerlof's work.
