<br/><br/> "Portugallian keisari: Kertomus Vermlannista" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel published in 1914. Set in rural Värmland, it tells the story of tenant farmer Jan and his beloved daughter Glory Goldie Sunnycastle. When she moves to Stockholm and her letters stop coming, Jan retreats into a fantasy world where she has become an empress of "Portugallia"—making him an emperor. In his imagined imperial role, he challenges local social hierarchies while awaiting her triumphant return. Lagerlöf herself called it a "Swedish King Lear."
