This collection of short stories captures the essence of rural life in the Skane region during the late nineteenth century. The text features colloquial Swedish, often reflecting the specific dialect and social manners of that era. You will encounter older sentence structures and vocabulary that may challenge your current understanding of the language. The dialogue is lively and informal, focusing on themes of courtship and marriage. It is a demanding read for learners, as it relies heavily on regional expressions and idiomatic phrasing.

Questions about this book
What level of Swedish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 40 min at a native pace, spread over 9 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
