Another work of his, The Sybil, which indeed did win the Nobel Prize is an exquisite piece of work unlike anything I have ever read before. Truly it is amazing, it is wonderfully written and I recommend it with the highest regard. It is around the time of Christ when this story takes place, a story between a cursed man and a damned woman whom share their divine experiences with God and how love and desperation could come about in a painful truth.
I have to agree... The Sybil is his true master work and it's very odd to not be mentioned in the description of Lagerkvist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.183.217.250 ( talk) 17:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
This whole Lagerkvist entry is woefully incomplete. The wonderful series The Holy Land, with fantastic maze-drawings in the edition (who was the illustrator?) I read, is not even mentioned. I think The Sybil is one in the series -- it's been a long time since I've read it. 76.173.15.226 ( talk) 04:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC) gene venable. The four books in the series are indeed The Sibyl, The Death of Ahasuerus, Pilgrim at Sea, and the Holy Land, according to someone on Amazon. 76.173.15.226 ( talk) 04:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC) gene venable
Is it appropriate to mention (here, instead of just under the composer's article) the use of his poems in 1943 by Vagn Holmboe (To sange til tekster af Pär Lagerkvist, M.144 - also called "Four Lagerkvist Songs" - for a cappella choir) or is that more under heading of trivia?
