Gösta Berling's Saga (Swedish: Gösta Berlings saga [ˈjœ̂sːta ˈbæ̂ːɭɪŋs ˈsɑ̂ːɡa]), also known as The Story of Gösta Berling or The Saga of Gösta Berling, is the debut novel of Swedish Nobel Prize-winning author Selma Lagerlöf, published in 1891. It was made into a 1924 silent film directed by Mauritz Stiller starring Greta Garbo (in her first leading role in a film), Lars Hanson and Gerda Lundequist. A 1925 opera I cavalieri di Ekebù by Riccardo Zandonai was also based on it.
