Sobre IBD

A curse rests on the Löwensköld family, as narrated in The LöwensköldRing. Charlotte Löwensköld is the tale of the following generations, a storyof psychological insight and social commentary, and of the complexitiesof a mother-son relationship. Charlotte is in love with Karl-Arthur - bothhave some Löwensköld blood. Their young love is ill fated; each goes on tomarry another. How we make our life ’choices’ and what evil forces can beat play around us is beautifully and ironically depicted by Selma Lagerlöf,who was in her sixties when she wrote this tour de force with the lightestimaginable touch.
