About the author

Lagerkvist was born in 1891 in southern Sweden. In 1910 he went to Uppsala as a student and in 1913 he left for Paris, where he was exposed to the work of Pablo Picasso. He studied Middle Age Art, as well as Indian and Chinese literature, to prepare himself for becoming a poet. His first collection of poetry was published in 1916. In 1940 Lagerkvist was chosen as one of the "aderton" (the eighteen) of the Swedish Academy.

Lagerkvist wrote poetry, novels, plays, short stories and essays. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1951 "for the artistic vigour and true independence of mind with which he endeavours in his poetry to find answers to the eternal questions confronting mankind."

Reviews

[Inese Okonova · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jāatzīstas, ka Lāgerkvists mani ieinteresēja pavisam triviāla iemesla dēļ: esam dzimuši vienā datumā. Bet labi vien, ka tā, jo atklāju brīnišķīgu rakstnieku, kurš apbūra ar it kā vienkāršo, pat askētisko, bet trāpīgiem un ļoti tēlainiem salīdzinājumiem bagāto valodu. Lasīt šo mazo grāmatiņu, kurā apkopoti trīs garstāsti, bija īsta bauda.

Patiesi suģestējošs darbs. Varbūt vairāk par Ērodu (Hērodu). Īsti piemērots kristīgo Ziemassvētku laikam. Noklausījos LR radioteātrī.
