Der Ring des Generals: Roman

The blend of history and fantasy feels seamless, but I'm curious whether the setting was chosen to enhance the mystical atmosphere or vice versa.

The characters' struggles with guilt and legacy really resonated with me, but I wonder how much was drawn from Lagerlöf's own views on family and history.

The curse adds a layer of realism to the supernatural, making it feel more tangible. I'm curious whether this was inspired by Swedish folklore or personal history.
