About this ebook

"The Emperor of Portugallia," also called "Swedish King Lear," is a novel by Nobel-laureate Selma Lagerlöf, published in 1914 with drawings by Albert Engström. The novel was immediately successful and was adapted for the movies four times. The novel tells of a poor Swedish farmer who has a single daughter he loves over everything. Yet, as his girl goes to Stockholm and stops sending letters home, he envisions her getting married to the emperor of Portugallia. As the father of the imagined empress, he starts behaving accordingly: he takes the front place in Church, socializes with noblemen, and wears emperor regalia.
