Christ Legend
Selma Lagerlof
Book Overview:
These are beautiful little stories about Christmas from the Swedish storyteller Selma Lagerlöf. As she explains in the first story, they were told her by her grandmother "I remember that grandmother told story after story from morning till night, and that we children sat beside her, quite still, and listened. It was a glorious life! No other children had such happy times as we did. It isn’t much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair, and stooped when she walked, and that she always sat and knitted a stocking. And I even remember that when she had finished a story, she used to lay her hand on my head and say: “All this is as true, as true as that I see you and you see me.”

“That boy is certainly more foolish than any I’ve seen hitherto,” thought the soldier. “What put it into his head to try and help these bees, who can take such good care of themselves without him, and who can sting him at that? What kind of a man will he become if he lives, I wonder. . . Read More

This is a compilation of fables written by Lagerlof about Christ. They are all magnificently written in her very dramatic, often melodramatic, prose. She has been a favorite writer of mine for a number of years, in spite of her extremely religious views and my unbelieving nature, and this was one of
Un libro muy corto, que contiene 4 relatos relacionados con Jesucristo, que buscan dejar enseñanzas y reflexiones sobre la vida.
Mi relato favorito ha sido el petirrojo, de apenas 6 páginas, pero nos habla de 2 momentos históricos como la crucificacion de Cristo.
Es la primera vez que leo a Selma, y m
Handlar nog mer om Lagerlöfs lust att skapa, än om kristen fromhet. Men som vanligt är hon en stor psykolog med siktet inställt på livgivande kreativitet och människokärlek.

If you are not familiar with Selma Lagerlöf you might object to the idea of creating stories about Christ out of the historical context, but Selma does this in an a way
Po meni je nepotrebno od Isusovoga rođenja i života stvarati ovakve apokrifne priče za djecu.
HRV: Religiozna sam osoba, ali dobro se sjećam da nisam bila baš oduševljena knjigom kada sam ju čitala.
ENG: I'm a catholic and a religious person, but I do remember not really being into this book that much as a kid.
Дуже посередньо, не сподобались.
ENGLISH: 11 interesting legends about the time of Christ and the history of Christianity. I specially liked the last one about a crusader who travelled from Jerusalem to Florence with a lighted tallow.
The "legends" about the childhood of Jesus are similar to those in the Apocryphal Gospels. Personal
Christ Legends by Selma Lagerlof
In my new evaluation of religion and Christianity I will try and focus on the Spirit of the story and not the Letter. In other words, the conception could be Immaculate in thought, spirit and Pure Intents, if not in practice.
Is this a coincidence, a sign or a small mi
