Legende o Kristu
Legends of Christ is a collection of stories by Swedish writer Selma Lagerlof, and it begins with the only realistic story in the entire book, entitled Holy Night.
The story begins with the author's grandmother, who always told her beautiful stories as a little girl. She remembers these stories better than her grandmother herself. The day of her death, which happened when the author was only five years old, remains in her memory the most clearly. However, before her death, her grandmother told her stories on several occasions. She begins the stories with a story told on Christmas Eve, when neither she nor her grandmother could go to Midnight Mass because one was too young and the other too old for such an activity. They were left alone at home, and this was a good occasion for a Christmas story about the events after the birth of Christ. The introduction to the story of the birth of Christ was a personal confession about the grandmother and her influence on the girl, now an adult writer. The introduction is written in the first person, and later the grandmother takes over the story. Since the grandmother took over the role of narrator, the story is again told in the first person, so here we have a case of a narrator within a story.
