"The Emperor of Portugallia" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel published in 1914. Set in rural Värmland, it tells the story of Jan, a tenant farmer whose love for his daughter Glory Goldie transforms into obsession after she moves to Stockholm and stops writing. When letters cease, Jan retreats into fantasy, imagining himself as a great Emperor and his daughter as an empress. In his delusions, he challenges social hierarchies while awaiting her return, unaware of her true circumstances in the city. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
