Sara in the village – the village in the world
And I stood alone, left in the courtyard
Sara Lidman, The Diary, 1942
and thought about the little, big World
the divinely beautiful and the satanically ugly
and became scared at the thought that
the courtyard and I were a part of that world
The exhibition “Sara in the village – the village in the world” is a permanent exhibition about Sara Lidman in the former school of Missenträsk, which has now been renovated for this purpose. The school Sara attended her first 6 years.
