Vilhelm Moberg - Utvandrarna

The Emigrants is the first part about Kristina, Karl Oskar, Robert, Arvid and all the others from Ljuder parish who leave poor Sweden for a better life in the United States. After many years of famine and other hardships, they decide to emigrate to America, and a grueling journey begins.

Vilhelm Moberg wrote his Emigrant epic straight into the Swedish soul. The Emigrants was first published in 1949 and has been read and loved ever since. The series has also lived on through Jan Troell's acclaimed films and Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's celebrated musical "Kristina från Duvemåla". A new film adaptation directed by Erik Poppe premieres at Christmas 2021. The Emigrants series is an timeless love story filled with famine, dreams and longing.

With a foreword by Björn Ulvaeus.
