Summary "Oud en nieuw" by Selma Lagerlöf is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work is characterized by a blend of realism and fantasy, exploring themes of human nature, morality, and the supernatural. Through its narratives, the collection offers poignant reflections on society, family, and the spirit of the Christmas season, inviting readers into a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. The opening of the collection presents a series of intriguing scenes that introduce the reader to various characters and their struggles. It starts with the tale of a robber's wife who attempts to beg for food with her children, leading them to an unexpected encounter with a monastic garden full of flowers. This meeting creates a contrast between the harshness of their life in the woods and the beauty and tranquility of the monastery, reflecting on themes of desperation, nature, and the longing for something more. The subsequent sections introduce various tales that further delve into the human condition, showcasing Lagerlöf's lyrical prose and ability to intertwine the mundane with magical elements, setting the tone for the stories that follow.
