About this book
Gösta Berling is a defrocked priest, charming, reckless and brilliant, who finds a home among the cavaliers at Ekeby manor in 1820s Värmland. These carefree men are given the estate for a year and swear to live only for pleasure and adventure. Around them gathers a large cast of proud ironmasters' wives, doomed lovers, scheming relatives and figures from folklore. Wolves chase sleighs across frozen lakes, and the devil himself seems to bargain over the fate of the region. Lagerlöf's debut is lyrical and episodic, mixing romance, legend and moral struggle.
