Lowenskold Ring (Norvik Press Series B)

By the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, an historical tale set in eighteenth century Sweden, in which the action is dominated by a mysterious ring which seems to blight the lives of those who own it. It is a disturbing saga of superstition and the supernatural, of revenge from beyond the grave, and in many ways, is a forerunner of modern feminist writing. A rather exotic ghost story."" - Publishers Weekly. ""[An] immensely sensitive translation, which achieves both the deceptive simplicity and the reverberating dimensions of Lagerlöf's text."" - Swedish Book Review.
