'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils' by Selma Lagerlof, illustration by Anton Pieck

[novamilano1]

Hi, I'm new to Tumblr, new to the YR's fandom. Been lurking for a while. This is my first post. I obsess so much about this show. Not so healthy to be in such limerence, not getting so much work done lately. I took the obsession to a whole new level by subscribing to TV microscope's substack, getting a twitter account, an insta account etc. And it has just been feeding the obsession so far.

Anything to get some content.

Thanks for all these lovely insights. I've been reading an insane amount of stuff. I just refrained from reading the fanfic for lack of mental space.

Has someone a link to an analysis about the literary books that serve as intertextual reference in the show ? Apart form the Karin Boye reference, there is also a moment when Wille and Felice enter a classroom to clear the air after the awkward kiss. And there on the board, in capital letters, you have the list of the books they had to choose from (August Strindberg, 1849, Selma Lagerlof 1858, Hjalmar Soderberg 1869 and Karin Boye 1900. ) Can anyone link them to the show ?

Thanks in advance. I am not that versed in scandinavian authors (I had only heard about Stringberg).

"Benché non sia che piccolo e debole, pure debbo poter fare qualche cosa per questo povero martoriato» pensò l’uccello: e allargò le ali e volò via per l��aria, descrivendo larghi giri intorno al Crocifisso.

Gli volò intorno parecchie volte senza ardire d’avvicinarsi, perché era un uccellino timido, che non aveva mai osato avvicinarsi ad un uomo. Ma un po’ per volta si fece coraggio, volò molto vicino e col becco tolse una spina che si era piantata nella fronte del Crocifisso.

In quel momento una goccia di sangue del Crocifisso cadde sul petto dell’uccello. Si allargò rapidamente, colò giù e tinse tutte le pennine delicate del petto. Ma il Crocifisso aperse le labbra e sussurrò all’uccello: «Per la tua pietà ora avrai quello che la tua razza ha desiderato sempre da quando fu creato il mondo».

Poco dopo, quando l’uccello ritornò al suo nido, i piccini gridarono: «Il tuo petto è rosso, le penne del tuo petto sono più rosse delle rose!»

«Non è che una goccia di sangue della fronte di quel pover’uomo» disse l’uccello. «Scomparirà, appena farò il bagno in un ruscello o in una limpida sorgente».

Ma quando l’uccellino fece il bagno la macchia rossa non scomparve dal suo petto, e quando i suoi piccini divennero grandi, la tinta rossa splendeva anche sulle penne dei loro petti, come d’allora in poi splende sul petto e sulla gola di ogni pettirosso".

He was born and grew up in middle -class family in the working-class city of Norrkoping and was the younger brother of the Swedish Communist leader Ture Nerman.

In 1908 he moved to France for many years to pursue his interest in art, studying with Matisse at the Academie Matisse in Paris.

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.

Hanna Hirsch-Pauli (Swedish, 1864 - 1940): Portrait of Selma Lagerlöf (via Uppsala Auktionskammare)

[study-van]

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.
