John Mark Ockerbloom provided additional information about the original edition "The Treasure" by Selma Lagerlöf is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Torarin, a poor fish hawker in Bohuslän, who embarks on a journey to seek livelihood and encounters themes of love, mourning, and revenge, particularly concerning the tragic fate of a local parsonage and its residents. At the start of the novel, Torarin, who is physically infirm, sets out on his usual route to sell fish when he hears of the sea being frozen, allowing for easier travel. As he makes his way to Solberga Parsonage, he chats with his loyal dog, Grim, reflecting on local news and the warmth of home. Upon arrival, he witnesses a gathering of the parson's household, where an air of tension prevails. The old mistress expresses foreboding about strange occurrences, and soon, Torarin learns of a recent tragedy that has befallen the parsonage—Herr Arne and his family have been brutally murdered, which sets in motion a series of events involving revenge and the search for solace. The beginning establishes a rich atmosphere filled with superstition, foreshadowing, and the ramifications of a violent past that will echo throughout the tale.
