Summary "The Emperor of Portugallia" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the themes of love, sacrifice, and the deep emotional connections between parents and children, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by a humble crofter named Jan Anderson and his daughter, Glory Goldie. The opening of the book introduces us to Jan of Ruffluck Croft, a man waiting anxiously outside the woodshed for the birth of his daughter. Initially overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and reluctance about becoming a father, Jan struggles with the burdens he anticipates facing. However, when he finally holds his daughter, the encounter transforms him profoundly, awakening unexpected feelings of love and tenderness. His worries vanish as he realizes the joy he will experience as a parent. The subsequent chapters promise to further explore the evolving relationship between Jan and Glory Goldie, as they navigate the intricacies of their lives and relationships within their rural community.
