"Jerusalem" is a classic novel adapted from real events by Selma Lagerlöf, the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and Swedish national treasure novelist. It was sold well in Europe a hundred years ago and lit up a spiritual light for the Swedes who had left their hometown.
This is a story about the ultimate choice in life. At the end of the 19th century, the world was undergoing turbulent times, and Swedish rural areas could not stay out of it. New trends of thought from abroad quietly penetrated this land. People became confused. It seems that my hometown is no longer a peaceful and pure land. Some people claim that the Holy Land Jerusalem is the final destination. When the choice of fate comes, everyone stands at a fork in the road: stick to your hometown for the sake of reality, or believe in your ideals and go to the distant place?
