Stockholm Series I: City of My Dreams by Per Anders Fogelstrom
Product Description
This remarkable book tells the tale of Henning Nilsson and his family, a family whose origins and growth in the underclass of the nineteenth-century Stockholm mirrors the growth of Stockholm itself into a modern European metropolis. Beginning with the arrival in the city of the fifteen-year-old Henning, barefoot and penniless, on the eve of the industrial revolution, it continues with the story of his impassioned struggle for a fully human life. Powerfully written, City of My Dreams, sweeps the reader along in a historic saga of fortune and love in a society experiencing great social and political upheaval.
By Per Anders Fogelstrom. Translated by Jennifer Brown Baverstam. This book is the first in the five-volume Stockholm Series. A masterpiece of historical realism, this sweeping narrative creates unforgettable characters and gives a cross-section of life in nineteenth-century Stockholm. "City of My Dreams" broke the record for bestsellers in Sweden. Fogelstrom, who was born in 1917, is greatly respected as a chronicler of his people. Ingmar Bergman made one of his earlier novels into a movie, "Summer with Monika." A statue to him can be found at the entrance to the hall where the Nobel prizes are awarded. Paperback, 332 pages, in English
