Selma Lagerlöf – Jerusalem

Jerusalem is a novel by the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf, published in two parts in 1901 and 1902. The narrative spans several generations in the 19th century, and focuses on several families in Dalarna, Sweden, and a community of Swedish emigrants in Jerusalem.
It was partially inspired by Lagerlöf’s visit to Horatio and Anna Spafford at the American Colony, Jerusalem.
