This work resonates with the literary context of the time, reflecting the burgeoning interest in spirituality and moral philosophy following the upheavals of the previous century. Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, has long been celebrated for her ability to blend folkloric elements with profound themes. Her own experiences with faith and the complexities of human emotion greatly influenced her writing.
