Jerusalem

A divine calling. A journey to the Promised Land. Faith that demands everything.

In Jerusalem, Selma Lagerlöf tells the powerful and deeply moving story of a group of devout Swedish peasants from the village of Dalarna who, inspired by a religious vision, sell their ancestral farms and undertake a perilous pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Driven by faith, hope, and the belief that the end times are near, they leave behind everything familiar to found a new colony near Jerusalem.

With her characteristic warmth, psychological insight, and lyrical prose, Lagerlöf explores the conflicts between religious fervor and human frailty, the clash between old traditions and new beginnings, and the profound cost of following one’s convictions to the very edge of the world.
