The first new English translation in more than one hundred years of the Swedish Gone with the Wind

A Penguin Classic

In 1909, Selma Lagerlöf became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Saga of Gösta Berling is her first and best-loved novel—and the basis for the 1924 silent film of the same name that launched Greta Garbo into stardom. A defrocked minister, Gösta Berling finds a home at Ekeby, an ironworks estate that also houses and assortment of eccentric veterans of the Napoleanic Wars. His defiant and poetic spirit proves magnetic to a string of women, who fall under his spell in this sweeping historical epic set against the backdrop of the magnificent wintry beauty of rural Sweden.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,800 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Recension

By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature

“At long last there is an excellent English translation of this important work by the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature.” —Swedish American Historical Quarterly

“At long last we have available to us a viable translation of one of the truly great works of Swedish literature sure to attract attention again to one of the region’s most significant authors and works.” —Scandinavian Studies

“Splendid . . . A fascinating peek into 19th-century Sweden, and . . . a cracking good read.” —Belletrista

“Every book of this great storyteller keeps on bringing us astonishing examples of her art. . . . No one in Europe can tell tales so unforgettably.” —Hermann Hesse

“Among [women novelists] of great talent or genius, none, in my opinion, is to be placed higher than Selma Lagerlöf.” —Marguerite Yourcenar

I really enjoyed this but...

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 18 mars 2017

Verifierat köp

... I can understand why it would not be to everyone's taste. The structure is episodic and feels a little disjointed, but like a fine tapestry once you immerse yourself in it you see that the details which at first sight might appear distracting actually all make a contribution to the integrity of the whole. I was struck by the similarities with Aleksis Kivi's magnificent "Seven Brothers", which pre dates it. I wonder to what extent Kivi was an influence on Lagerlof - certainly, if "Seven Brothers" distils the essence of 19th century Finland, then Gosta Berling seems to me to do the same for 19th century Sweden. Both books feel partly like curious historical narratives and partly like deeper and stranger mythological texts. It can be eerie, atmospheric, strange, and funny all at once - exemplified by the scene where wolves pursue a sleigh across a frozen lake, and are deterred by having a load of crappy novels thrown into their slavering jaws...

Strindberg hated Lagerlof, apparently. I like both, but I think on balance I prefer Lagerlof. She was a genius, and a worthy recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (unlike so many others, alas). I want to visit Varmland. In winter. And by sleigh...

A saga which can be savoured

Recenserad i Kanada 🇨🇦 den 3 juni 2015

Verifierat köp

At some point I may amend this review but Gosta is an old friend whom I first read in Dutch translation some sixty years ago and enjoyed then and I thought I should comment on it now. It is not a novel in the sense that one must read it all before one understands it all; each of its parts can stand on their own but it is a work of fiction, very good fiction. One part is particularly moving, Death the Liberator, a chapter which has nothing to do with the character Gosta but which may have special meaning to those who have had life threatening illnesses (as I did some five years ago). After recovery, I wanted to read Gosta again and found it equally satisfying.

A great work of art, or....

Recenserad i Kanada 🇨🇦 den 7 januari 2015

Verifierat köp

This book is a great work of art from many readers’ points of view. Probably it is, but one should probably be somewhat suspicious when a Swedish author received a Nobel Prize, awarded by a Swedish committee consisting of privileged academics. I grew up hearing about this book, and, coincidentally, my grandmother came from Värmland, the setting of the book. For decades I had ignored this work so its time had come—or so I thought. Well, as it turned out, I should have resisted longer.

This is not a novel. I was put off by the chopped-up texture of its presentation. ‘Gösta Berling’ is a work consisting of artful meanderings. Lagerlöf was a literary conjurer. She had great skill with forming phrases and sentences that enchant and charm the reader. And she often goes off-topic to add incidentals. Considerable time is taken to inform the reader about flora and fauna, local customs and the social dynamics of Värmland. Intervals are used to delve into fantasy and mythology. We share in the reminiscences of horses and even the wagons that they have pulled. We follow the fancies of an eagle on an excursion. Miss Lagerlöf was notably enamoured by her character Berling, a shifty defrocked priest, a drunkard and Don Juan. His relationships with women can best be described as whimsical, impulsive and disloyal, even reckless. The author injects a number of other characters—especially headstrong women—to act as accomplices or adversaries (sometimes both) to his egocentric foibles. The women’s’ emotional investments in Gösta are most often absurdly paradoxical from one moment to the next—from slavishly worshipful to heartlessly dismissive.

I very seldom give up on a book. Many books are not exactly gripping or entertaining from page one. Most take a few dozen pages to get the reader interested. My expectations were high for this book but it failed to engage me. With stubborn persistence I plodded through more than half of it before I decided I had had enough. I am sure my dispassionate grandmother, although a contemporary of the author, had no time for such enigmatic literary fare. By today’s standards I think ‘silly’ would be an apt word to describe the plot of this trumped-up literary work which may have fascinated readers by its non-conventionality a century ago.

The Saga of Gosta Berling

Recenserad i USA 🇺🇸 den 18 oktober 2012

Verifierat köp

I purchased this book on a whim, since I had grown up reading the author's children's stories, and I wasn't sure what to expect. This translation of the book captures the author's distinctive, charming style which immerses the reader in the wild, dark, and harsh landscapes of Sweden and the lives of its inhabitants. Having said that, Mr. Berling seems to be a one of the least likeable eponymous characters I've yet encountered. He's definitely interesting and well-developed, but I found it very hard to empathize with him when things did not go as planned for him; at times he just seemed so thoughtlessly evil and self-absorbed that I wanted him to come to a miserable end. However, the female characters in the novel definitely made up for Gosta's shortcomings and this book appears to have a definite feminist overtone. There are numerous powerful and yet long-suffering female characters that seem to provide support as well as restraint for the inconstant, bellicose, and often quite simply foolish male figures. It is an entertaining but thought-provoking tale that examines all aspects of human character, from the base to the noble, a story of love, betrayal, and redemption.
