8 de jun. de 2018 · The Löwensköld Ring is the first volume of a trilogy originally published between 1925 and 1928. In addition to being a disturbing saga of revenge from beyond the grave, it is a tale of courageous, persistent women, with interesting narrative twists and a permeating sense of ambiguity.
From the opening, where a farming couple go to a country graveyard at night to make sure nobody steals the demi-godlike general Löwensköld’s precious ring from his family grave (re-opened to bury a dead child in it) – and then almost to their surprise stealing it themselves, this story hooks you.
Set in the province of Värmland in the eighteenth century, it revolves around a ring given by Karl XII to one of his generals, Bengt Löwensköld. The ring is of gold with a red cornelian engraved with the king’s monogram, and the general treasures it so highly that he insists on being buried with it.
