Selma Lagerlf was born in Vaermland, Sweden, in 1858 and enjoyed a long and very successful career as a writer, receiving the Nobel-Price in Literature in 1909. She died in Vaermland in 1940. Invisible Links is a collection of short stories with an underlying theme about the links that influence and guide people's actions and lives. It was first published in 1894 and the English translation in 1895. The stories are often set in Lagerloef's Vaermland, but they also depict legends and history of Sweden, and some have connections to other works by Lagerloef. Invisible Links is a good introduction to the writings of Selma Lagerloef.
Selma Lagerlöf
**Selma Lagerlöf** (1858–1940) est une figure majeure de la littérature suédoise et la première femme à recevoir le **prix Nobel de littérature en 1909**. Née dans la région rurale du Värmland, elle puise son inspiration dans les contes et croyances populaires de sa Suède natale. Son œuvre, marquée par un mélange de réalisme et de merveilleux, explore des thèmes universels comme l’amour, la foi, la mémoire et la condition féminine. *L’Empereur du Portugal*, publié en 1914, est considéré comme l’un de ses romans les plus émouvants.
