This novel was written by Swedish woman writer Thelma Ragoff in 1906. With the help of folk stories, the author creates in a modern way that combines imagination with reality.

At first, the Swedish School Teachers Association asked Selma Ragov to write a textbook about Swedish geography for ninth grade students.

Lagrov has ten years of teaching experience. She believes that people's schools can achieve universal education, so class differences can be greatly reduced through good teaching materials. Therefore, this writing task just fits her idea. Later, she wrote The Adventures of Niels Riding a Goose and won the Nobel Prize in Literature two years later.

Out of patriotism, Lagrov also knows the educational significance of reading good books for children and hopes to write such a book for them. And a writer who is good at telling stories with a wild imagination, after trying to find creative inspiration, makes her feel that she should look at the world from another angle. First of all, we don't need adult eyes to see the world. We need a child, not an adult to teach children how to see the world. Witness the miracle of the world. Secondly, look at the world with animal eyes, not human eyes. Niels Holgersen, the hero of the novel, is actually no longer a human being, so that he can see the whole country from the sky on a goose.

If the author writes a practical textbook according to the original intention of the Swedish people and introduces the mountains, rivers, landforms and customs of the character S in various parts of Sweden with appropriate language, rigorous scientific logic and practical style, it is estimated that it can only be true. Traditional teaching materials.

The author's writing also makes publishers worry that students' interest in storytelling may divert their attention from knowledge. It's just that the title of Travel Notes completely violates the original intention of the publishing house as a teaching material, but the author insists on his own opinion. She felt that no title could conceal the fact that the book was a fantasy. This book can also convey a lot of different knowledge, which critics should make clear.

It was originally planned and published as a textbook for Swedish students below junior high school to understand the general situation of the motherland. This is really a children's book. However, its narrative style is the form of fairy tales and fantasy literature. The whole book is a wonderful story. A boy seems to have had a long dream that he became a little boy with a palm high. After he came back, he experienced the mountains and rivers of his native Sweden, experienced ups and downs and all kinds of obstacles, and heard all kinds of folklore. This makes the work have the characteristics of fairy tales.

Although "755-79000" is undeniably a children's literature work, it is actually a small encyclopedia about Sweden, including S geography (including the introduction of various regions, mountains, rivers and lakes), nature (including various animals and plants), economy (such as the development of industry, agriculture, mining, forestry, fisheries and shipbuilding) and history (including cultural relics). In short, after reading the Complete Adventures of Niels Riding a Goose, readers can have a comprehensive understanding of Sweden, at least before the 20th century.

The original intention of this book is to introduce Swedish school textbooks. In the book, we can also deeply understand that the most important education is the ideological and moral education for the next generation, which can let children realize the values and humanistic spirit of Swedish culture. For example, in Chapter 44, the goose woman Osama and the mother of the small maze let a tuberculosis patient stay at home, which led to the doom of family destruction. Four children got sick and died, her husband ran away, and she finally got sick and died. But when she was dying, her mother said to her children:

(Mom) told the two children many times to remember that she never regretted letting female patients live in their home. Mom said so, when a person does the right thing, death is not painful. Everyone will die and no one will be spared. However, one can decide whether to die with a clear conscience or a clear conscience.

Perhaps this passage can help us understand why Sweden has always received the largest number of refugees in Europe. Although refugees may cause trouble, and even terrorists mixed with them may lead to the death of Swedes, most Swedes still support the policy of accepting refugees because conscience is more important than life.

The same example can be found in the legend in Chapter 47. From Haier Valley. The man who sells wooden barrels is faced with a dilemma when being chased by a group of wolves: either he runs away with a sled, or he stops the sled to save an old woman on the roadside, otherwise the old woman will be eaten by wolves, and if he stops, he will be in danger of being eaten. At first, he chose to run away by himself, but was immediately condemned by his conscience, so he reined in his horse and turned and rushed to the old woman's face.

Naughty Niels also learned the meaning of loyalty and honesty in this trip. For example, when he knew that only by killing Morton the goose could he become a human again, he thought of Uppsala, an American college student who taught him not to betray his friends. Therefore, he would rather stop being a man and travel abroad than let his old friend, the goose in trouble, be slaughtered. For another example, when he promised not to leave Kang Sen Park without authorization, he wouldn't leave if he could.

Niels is so kind, brave and resourceful in this journey.

From the beginning of this journey, he was only the size of his thumb and never felt a trace of fear. The white goose was in distress several times, and Niels was desperate to save it, although it was full of risks. He also saved geese several times, so he offended Mr. Fox, who refused to let him go and wanted to kill him. Of course, his kindness has also won the help of many animals. When helping others, he not only showed courage, but also showed chivalry and resourcefulness. For example, Niels and Goose took refuge in the hole where the sheep stayed. When he knew that three foxes had hurt the sheep, he bravely drove them away with the old sheep for the first time. In order to make this sheep suffer this crime again in the future, he and the special terrain of Baigong Guli Island destroyed three foxes the next day. There are many stories about Niels in this book.

This book emphasizes this kind of conscience, courage, goodwill, honesty and loyalty, which is the concrete content of Swedish values or lofty idealism and also shows the educational significance of this book. So Niels Riding a Goose is an educational novel, or a bildungsroman, which tells the story of a naughty boy's maturity and growth.

Lagolov's Adventures of Niels Riding a Goose at the beginning of last century has shown valuable and advanced environmental awareness. The story of environmental destruction and protection is also very detailed and logical. Destroy first, then need, then wake up, and finally protect.

Chapter 19 Big Bird Lake When the hostess of Token Lake Farm learned of the harm caused to birds by reclaiming farmland from the lake, she also persuaded her husband to give up the plan.

Chapter 22, the story of Carl and Grey Skin, tells the story that the ancient forest in Carmelton has also experienced the process of destruction and protection. Fortunately, it learned to care and care for the forest. People have completely forgotten the ancient hostility to the forest and regarded the forest as their best friend.

In Chapter 30, The Legacy of the Eldest Son, she describes the serious pollution that crazy copper mining will bring to Fallon, and the girl beloved by the mine owner is unwilling to move to the city to marry him. At this time, the mine owner deeply reflected on the current situation of the city and emphasized the seriousness of the problem. Strong pungent smell, wrapped in mist, is also caused by mine smelting.

In chapter 54, when Aka and Niels bid farewell, they also said a passage, expressing the author's view of nature, thinking that human beings should not think that they are the only one on this earth, occupying all natural resources regardless of the existence of other animals.

In fact, there are nature reserves everywhere in Sweden. Deforestation and hunting are forbidden, and we can already appreciate this awareness of human and natural existence.

Teacher Wan Zhi, the translator of this book, also respects the original work. His translation principle is to convey as faithfully as possible and to be faithful to the original text. Don't add a word casually, don't miss a word easily; No need to change the sentence structure; He won. Do not change it. This also includes loyalty to the original style, and the simplicity of the original style should be simple.
