«Jerusalén» is the historical novel by Selma Lagerlöf, published by B de Bolsillo (Ediciones B) in paperback (640 pages, in Spanish).
In rural Sweden at the end of the 19th century, a group of peasants from Nås, a poor and remote village, decide to leave their land and found a religious community in Palestine. The novel alternates between those who leave and those who stay, and draws a choral narrative in which faith, hope, fear, reason and passion coexist in each character.
Selma Lagerlöf was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, an award she received in 1909. Bille August adapted the novel to film in 1996.
A classic of Swedish literature for readers of historical fiction and choral stories with a spiritual backdrop.
