Maria Schottenius: Martin Schibbye take back on Selma Lagerlöf's goose

My heart always takes a little extra leap when Selma Lagerlöf will be speaking with writers and journalists for over 60 years.

Martin Schibbye, journalist who was in prison in Ethiopia uses, according to the February-march issue of the magazine ”We Read”, Selma Lagerlöf, author of Nils Holgersson as a model to tell us about Sweden. In a similar way that she did, namely, write letters, and enable the teacher around the country to tell, he travels around in libraries and cafes. And as in Lagerlöf in question is a public education project, ”to plug into the knowledge of the children without them noticing it”, as she wrote to Sophie Elkan.

the Risk, according to Schibbye, that polarizes in a simple way, writes about begging in Vellinge, sweden and Jimmie Åkesson in Sölvesborg. ”There is a journalistic sense of security in the conflict” but he Martin gåsapåg intend to portray Sweden through the so-called slow journalism. ”I'm here, I listen, I want to hear what you have to tell us.”
