Title Gösta Berlingin taru
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Gösta Berlingin taru" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Gösta Berling, a troubled young priest whose struggles with alcoholism lead him to lose his position in the church, setting him on a journey filled with redemption and self-discovery. The narrative unfolds in a richly crafted setting, blending themes of spirituality, human frailty, and the quest for a meaningful life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Gösta Berling, a young and strikingly handsome priest standing before a congregation that views him with disdain due to his history of drunkenness. As he begins his sermon, he grapples with feelings of anger and despair but experiences a moment of spiritual clarity that compels him to proclaim the glory of God. Following his sermon, he learns that his congregation, rather than condemning him, seems to support his continuing role as their priest, offering him a glimmer of hope. The opening establishes a contrast between his inner turmoil and the acceptance of those around him, hinting at the complex relationships and challenges he will navigate in the chapters to come.
