Summary:

Inspired by a visit to a religious commune in the U.S., the novel Jerusalem is regarded by many as the most accomplished work in Nobel Prize-winning author Selma Lagerlof''s oeuvre. A stirring examination of the steep toll of religious extremism, it follows a small sect of believers who emigrate to Israel under the sway of a charismatic leader.
