| Summary | "Bannlyst" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set on a remote island called Grimön, where the narrative introduces a couple, Joel and Thala Elversson, who are very different from one another. The book explores themes of parental sacrifice, societal prejudice, and the complex relationship between a son, Sven, and his parents after being raised by a different family. The opening of the story depicts a quiet evening on Grimön, where Joel, an older, unambitious farmer, and Thala, his more vibrant wife, engage in conversation. Thala reflects on their son Sven, whom they gave away for a better life at a young age, as she harbors complicated feelings about his absence. Her thoughts shift to the return of Sven, now a man burdened with a dark secret stemming from a survival situation where he had to endure extreme hardships. Thala's internal conflict prepares the reader for the eventual arrival of Sven and the mixed feelings his presence evokes, setting the stage for the drama that unfolds in the novel.
