The Wonderful Adventures of Nils with the Wild Geese
19.99 €
A restless and lazy boy, Nils Holgersson, was once cruelly punished for his pranks: a forest gnome cast a spell on him, turning him into a tiny man. Suddenly, he began to understand the language of the birds and animals he had so often bullied before.
Along with a flock of wild geese, Nils sets off for distant Lapland, overcoming dangers, meeting new friends, and learning kindness, courage, and responsibility. But will he earn the forest gnome's forgiveness? Will he ever be able to become an ordinary boy again?
Written over a century ago, Selma Lagerlöf's book remains one of the most beloved magical stories in children's literature. It was first translated into Russian at the beginning of the 20th century, shortly after its publication in Sweden. This edition presents the most popular translation and retelling, prepared by the remarkable translators and first editors of the legendary Detgiz, Alexandra Lyubarskaya and Zoya Zadunaiskaya. The poems in the fairy tale were written by S. Ya. Marshak.
The book has been adapted into films several times, and the animated film based on it is well known to children. It is included in recommended reading lists for elementary school students.
