Description
Tomten is an old friend who returns each winter to care for animals and look after a farmhouse. He goes through his routine but becomes puzzled by a question that has no answer: "Where do generations come from, and where do they go?" This poem asks deep questions about time and life. Written in Swedish by Viktor Rydberg and first published in 1881, the original poem explores themes of passage and meaning. A new translation brings this thought-provoking work to a wider audience. This edition is presented in English, with 50 pages and a paperback binding.
