En väckelserörelse tar form i en liten socken i Dalarna. Hellgum predikar om Jesu kraft och snart bildar människorna som samlas kring honom en sekt. Alla som inte ansluter till Hellgum stämplas som syndare, och när sekten börjar splittra familjer förvisas han från trakten. Några år senare skickar Hellgum ett brev från Jerusalem. Han uppmanar sina tidigare följeslagare att ansluta sig till honom på nytt, och socknen delas återigen upp i två läger – de som väljer att stanna kvar på sina gårdar, och de som offrar allt för att påbörja ett nytt liv i den heliga staden.

Ny oversættelse af den storslåede slægts - og kærlighedsroman, der foregår i Dalarna i årene omkring 1900. Handlingen er vidt forgrenet, med Ingmarsgården og to generationer af Ingmarssønnerne i centrum. Af kærlighed til slægtsgården må Ingmar træffe det umulige valg at gifte sig med en rig bondes datter frem for med skolelærerens datter Gertrud, som han elsker. Gertrud bliver halvt vanvittig af sorg, gribes af religiøs vækkelse og drager til Jerusalem sammen med en del af sognets beboere. Snart følger Ingmar imidlertid efter for at gøre sin uret god igen og hente Gertrud hjem.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the First Crusade, Jerusalem Delivered weaves a captivating narrative filled with political intrigues, military confrontations, and complex love stories, all intertwined with the nuances of differing faiths. The supernatural elements play a significant role in the unfolding drama. Despite facing substantial criticism upon its release, Tasso undertook a major revision, ultimately renaming his work La Gerusalemme Conquistata or Jerusalem Conquered, which has sadly remained largely overlooked—a cautionary tale for writers who heed their critics too closely...

Als Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) im Sommer 1574 den Prinzessinnen Leonora und Lucrezia d'Este sowie dem Herzog Alfonso II sein großes Versepos "Gerusalemmeliberata" vorlas, hätte er sich sicher nicht gedacht, dass dieses Buch ein Bestseller werden sollte und bis heute zum Kanon abendländischer Literatur und humanistischer Bildung gehört.

Dieses aus einer Zueignung und 20 Gesängen bestehende dramatische Gedicht, verfasst von dem italienischen Dichter Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) und übersetzt von Johannes Diederich Gries (1775-1842) aus Goethes und Schillers Umfeld, steht in der blutrünstigen Schilderung von Kampfgemetzeln der homerischen Ilias kaum nach, enthält aber auch viele lyrische Passagen. Vielleicht ist es angesichts des aktuellen Verhaltens radikaler Islamisten ganz hilfreich, sich vor Augen zu führen, wie Christen in den Kreuzzügen - und von einem solchen handelt das Gedicht - seinerzeit mit ihren muslimischenGegnern umgingen.

När Arn som 17-åring lämnar klostret dras han in i de pågående intrigerna mellan rivaliserande tronpretendenter. Och han döms till tjugo års botgöring för sin kärlek till den ljuva Cecilia.
