The opening portion of the book begins with a glowing introduction to Selma Lagerlöf by Walter von Molo, who emphasizes her deep understanding and representation of human emotions through storytelling. He asserts that Lagerlöf's narratives often blur the lines between reality and mysticism, embodying universal themes of love and redemption. Following this introduction, the story "Der Luftballon" is introduced, where two boys, Lennart and Hugo, are depicted as they embark on a train journey to Stockholm with their estranged father.
