Memoirs of a Child – Selma Lagerlöf (Ukrainian Edition)

This is the Ukrainian edition of Memoirs of a Child (Ett barns memoarer) by Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. It is the second book of her Mårbacka memoirs, about the farm in Värmland where she grew up.

Now a young teenager, Selma leaves her uncle and aunt’s household in Stockholm and returns home, where life immediately pulls her back into its whirl. She writes about growing up, about dreams and disappointments, about relatives and neighbours, and about the folk tales and strange stories that colour everyday life. Guests arrive for celebrations, the family stages games and a home theatre, ambitious projects take shape, and Selma begins to notice her father growing older, refusing to believe their valley could ever decline.

A gentle, luminous book for lovers of classic literature and memoirs, and for anyone who knows how precious the memory of a childhood home becomes when you live far away from it.
