Pour avoir voulu se jouer d’un tomte, sorte de lutin du folklore suédois, le jeune Nils devient pareil à sa victime, c’est-à-dire à peine plus haut que la main. Voulant retenir son jars blanc, tenté par l’appel des oiseaux migrateurs, Nils oublie sa taille minuscule, et le voici emporté dans les airs. S’ensuivent un voyage à travers la Laponie et la Suède, en compagnie des oies sauvages, et une série d’aventures mi-merveilleuses mi-réelles. Comme toutes les grandes œuvres pour la jeunesse, ce texte, paru en 1907, est devenu un classique qui a enchanté des générations de lecteurs.

No matter how old he became, Jan Andersson from Skrolycka could never tire of recounting the day his little daughter was born. Klara Gulla is the light of life for the peasant Jan. When she leaves for the city and is drawn into its carefree lifestyle, Jan descends into madness. His helpless paternal love knows no bounds, leading him into the realm of insanity. He becomes the Emperor of Portugallia, waiting with unwavering patience for his daughter's return in princely splendor and glory. "The Emperor of Portugallia," first published in 1914, presents one of Selma Lagerlöf's most poignant character studies. Here, her psychological insight reaches a peak in this timeless tale of the power of love.
