Description

Sadun satu : ynnä muita satuja by Selma Lagerlöf is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work weaves together various tales, with the overarching narrative focusing on a story that longs to be told and introduced to the world. This initial tale begins to take shape in the realm of Värmland, where the protagonist, a young girl, decides to step into the role of a storyteller, influenced by the rich stories that surround her life. The opening of the book sets the stage for the titular story, which expresses a yearning to emerge from obscurity and be shared beyond its homestead. Through vivid imagery and poetic prose, we are introduced to the backdrop of Mårbacka, a peaceful estate filled with history and rich storytelling tradition. The narrator reveals how a young girl, who has grown up in this nurturing environment, has developed a fascination with the stories around her but initially lacks the confidence or vision to begin sharing them. The narrative hints at her eventual journey, as she grapples with self-doubt and the quest for recognition, ultimately finding inspiration to become the storyteller she feels destined to be.
