Jede:r von uns hat ihren/seinen liebsten Märchenkreis, nicht wahr? Den beiden Norwegern Peter Christen Asbjørnsen und Jørgen Moe ist es zu verdanken, dass im 19. Jahrhundert nach Vorbild der Brüder Grimm ein unwahrscheinlich großer Märchenschatz zusammengetragen und veröffentlicht wurde. Die Nationalromantische Phase hatte auch die Norweger:innen ergriffen und nur zu recht. Als Kenner:in der 'deutschen' Märchentexte wird man hier viele Parallelen entdecken - typische Anfangs- und Endfloskeln, magische Wesen, mehrgliedrige Kämpfe, christliche Elemente und eine manchmal etwas absurd erscheinende Zahlensymbolik.
Wenn ihr beim Thema Norwegen vor allem an dichte Wälder, Fjorde, wortkarge Menschen und Trolle denkt, dann sind das Elemente, die bereits in solchen, aus dem Mittelalter stammenden Texten tradiert werden. Literatur- und kulturhistorische Perspektiven und Sichtweisen lohnen hier, zur Anwendung gebracht zu werden.
This story jumps on the current mythology trend (see Madeline Miller's books!) and is a loose retelling of an old British murder ballad called The Twa Sisters .
It is set in an ancient British kingdom abandoned by the Romans and in constant fear of attack by the Saxons. Three Sisters are trying to come to terms with their identity and their own magic, which is threatened by the advent of Christianity. The focus is set on the different paths the sisters decide to take and the tragedies that result thereof.
Of the three sisters Keyne is my favorite - I rooted for her all through the plot. Who is yours?!

Autor/in

Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was a distinguished Swedish author, renowned for her rich storytelling rooted in folklore and her vivid depictions of rural life in Sweden. She was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909, honored for her lofty idealism, imaginative power, and spiritual insight, as noted in her Nobel citation. Lagerlöf's oeuvre includes novels, short stories, and children's literature, characterized by a narrative style that intertwines myth and reality. Her seminal work, 'Gösta Berling's Saga,' published in 1891, cemented her reputation as a master storyteller. Another notable contribution is 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils,' which not only serves as children's literature but also as a nuanced exploration of Swedish landscape and culture. Lagerlöf's writings often exhibit a progressive stance on social issues, reflected in her strong-willed characters and advocacy for women's rights. Her literature continues to be celebrated for its evocative prose and enduring themes, such as the triumph of good over evil and the understanding of the human condition. The 'Christmas Collection: 400+ Novels, Stories, Poems, Carols & Legends (Illustrated)' is a testament to Lagerlöf's storytelling prowess, which captures the spirit of Christmas through a rich tapestry of narratives that enchant readers with the magic of the holiday season. Lagerlöf's legacy is preserved in her body of work, which remains an integral part of the literary canon both in Sweden and internationally.
