520			_aHerinneringen by Selma Lagerlöf is a collection of autobiographical reminiscences written in the early 20th century. It traces the author’s path from a prophetic birth at the family estate Mårbacka through illness, avid reading, first encounters with theater, education, and the slow, determined making of a writer. Along the way she reflects on the genesis of her major works and on travels—including to Jerusalem—that shaped her themes and resolve. The focus is intimate and reflective, centered on how a life of stories becomes a life in literature. The opening of this memoir begins with the night of the author’s birth, when Aunt Wennervik’s card reading predicts frail health, much travel, lifelong work, and a life with books. Childhood illness keeps her indoors, where a lurid adventure novel awakens her desire to write; a winter in Stockholm restores her strength and introduces the stage, leading to home theatricals and dreams of playwriting, followed by the heady discovery of writing her first lines of verse. As a young woman she endures anxious days awaiting admission to the teachers’ seminary and succeeds, convinced she must gain knowledge to earn her living and to write well; later, in Jerusalem, a sand-divining seer assures her the book she plans about Swedish settlers there will come to fruition. A companion piece, “A Tale of a Tale,” shows how the legends of Wermland and the atmosphere of Mårbacka grew—after false starts and a prize-winning excerpt—into the episodic, romantic form of Gösta Berling’s saga, aided by the patronage that gave her a year to finish. The section closes by shifting back to Jerusalem with a parable-like vignette about a dream interpreter slighted during a royal visit and a Western traveler’s dream of Christ ascending the minaret of El Azhar, where the excerpt breaks off.
