Paperback. Condition: New. Often referred to as Sweden's Charlotte Bronte, Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) was widely translated during her lifetime and became internationally acclaimed as the author of an impressive series of novels and travel books.

In 2014 she was awarded the Royal Order of the Polar Star for services to Swedish literature. She has translated books in a wide variety of genres including children's stories, crime fiction, literary criticism, novels by Nobel laureate Selma Lagerloef and the work of many contemporary writers. She lives and works in Kent.…
