This new book includes selections from Lagerl f's literary works representative of her keen observations, both the profound and the witty. Lagerlof's characrters share spiritual and deeply human longings. They long for love, for inspiration, for release from psychological torment-ultimately they seek an image of truth. Some find this vision only in death. Others lack courage and flee from their visions, becoming strangers in the worlds of their own making.
Social relations are difficult, thorny.
But in crucial moments of transformation, true selves come out of hiding-or they are taken by storm. As an avid supporter of causes such as women's rights and world peace, her thoughts and concerns are equally valid today. Invisible Links is the first in a series of reprints of Selma Lagerl f's works from Penfield Press. This collection of Lagerl f's earlier short stories depicts the Swedish people, their lives and struggles, through glimpses into their souls. Her wise, compassionate voice narrates tales that are both dramatic and perplexing.
