Jerusalem

Summary

"Jerusalem" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel published in two parts in 1901 and 1902. The narrative follows several families across generations in 19th-century Dalarna, Sweden, and traces their journey to a Swedish emigrant community in Jerusalem. Loosely based on an actual emigration from Nås parish in 1896, the story explores themes of faith, tradition, and displacement as characters navigate between their Swedish homeland and the Holy Land.
