Selma Lagerlöf was a pioneering Swedish author, celebrated for her unique storytelling and profound connection to Swedish folklore. She made history as the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909 and was also the first woman admitted to the Swedish Academy in 1914. Lagerlöf's debut novel, Gösta Berling's Saga, marked the start of her successful literary career. Her works often combine elements of the supernatural with deep emotional and moral exploration. She is known for her ability to transform ordinary stories into profound tales, full of imagination and humanity. Many of her works, including The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, emphasize themes of personal growth, respect for nature, and the importance of kindness.
