RAVENCLAW: "For, so long as there are interesting books to read, it seems to me that neither I nor anyone else, for that matter, need be unhappy." –Selma Lagerlöf (Memories of My Childhood)
Tell them that you know there is no salvation in concealment! The demons love the darkness. May your judges' hands wrap themselves around the scourge! The punishment will fall like comforting balsam on the wounds of sin. Your heart longs for suffering.
GOSTA BERLING’S SAGA by selma lagerlof
Hanna Hirsch-Pauli (Swedish, 1864 - 1940): Portrait of Selma Lagerlöf (via Uppsala Auktionskammare)
Today let’s talk about the first woman in history to win a Nobel Prize in literature, Selma Lagerlöf. In addition to the Nobel Prize, she received numerous awards. She became the "grand old lady" in Sweden and a national "Saint". Her reputation was almost spotless, I have to say though she supported a cause like many people at that time in Sweden supported that I don’t condone. Although, she never lived openly with her orientation. In 1992, the Swedish author’s letters to her two concurrent lovers were published in a book Du lär mig att bli fri (You teach me to be free). She had carefully postponed her posthomous "coming out" as a lesbian, until a time when she hoped society would have become tolerant enough to stand the shock. At her death, in fact, homosexuality was still a serious crime in Sweden.
Invisible Links. Selma Lagerlof. Translated from the Swedish by Pauline Bancroft Flach. Boston: Little Brown, and Company, 1899. First edition in English.
A collection of fourteen stories. Some of them exploit local legends, folk beliefs and superstitions, a recurring source of material for Lagerlof, whose interest in the supernatural ran through many of her books.
Mujeres LGBT que lo petaron en la historia es un fanzine que contiene 15 retratos acompañados de una pequeña biografía que pretende visibilizar a mujeres de distintos campos, desde artistas hasta astronautas, cuya identidad ha sido borrada por la historia.
