Summary "Le Merveilleux voyage de Nils Holgersson à travers la Suède" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the early 20th century. This enchanting tale follows the journey of a young boy named Nils Holgersson, who transforms into a tomte and embarks on an adventure across Sweden riding on the back of a wild goose. The story intricately weaves elements of fantasy with vivid depictions of Swedish landscapes, showcasing both the beauty of the country and the moral development of the protagonist. The opening portion of the story introduces Nils, a 14-year-old boy characterized by his mischief and lack of motivation. As his parents prepare to attend church, Nils is supposed to read a sermon but instead dozes off, awakening to find a tomte, a mythical creature, rummaging through his mother’s belongings. In an attempt to catch the tomte, Nils inadvertently becomes enchanted and shrinks in size, discovering that he has been transformed into a tomte himself. This transformation marks the beginning of his incredible journey, filled with challenges and encounters with various animals, as he learns the significance of kindness, respect for nature, and the value of humility amidst the backdrop of Sweden's stunning landscapes.
