Considered one of Sweden's greatest 20th century writers, Vilhelm Moberg created Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson to portray the joys and tragedies of daily life for early Swedish pioneers in America. His consistently faithful depiction of these humble people's lives is a major strength of the Emigrant Novels.
Moberg's extensive research in the papers of Swedish emigrants in archival collections, including the Minnesota Historical Society, enabled him to incorporate many details of pioneer life. First published between 1949 and 1959 in Swedish, these four books were considered a single work by Moberg, who intended that they be read as documentary novels. These editions contain introductions written by Roger McKnight, Gustavus Adolphus College.
Book 1 introduces Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson, their three young children, and 11 others who make up a resolute party of Swedes fleeing the poverty, religious persecution, and social oppression of Småland in 1850.

--The reader has a soft modest voice that threatened to be boring at first. Then I realized that she was pronouncing the Swedish names and terms faithfully. With that I came to appreciate her voice to the point of bonding with it by the end of this first book.
--The prose is modest in tone. And the story builds slowly. Maybe I should say that the story builds a shovel full at a time. Soon there is a world there. By the end I am both eager and afraid to follow these characters into America. I was surprised and delighted when, halfway into the story, sexuality and even bawdiness begin enriching the tale.
--I can't help but wonder how much talent, love and work went into this deceptively modest epic.
The story works its way slowly into your heart.
