Remember the City
Per Anders Fogelstrom's Stockholm Series is a quintet of novels about the intertwined stories of a city and of a family. The research behind and within Fogelstrom's series is prodigiously detailed: he gives us meticulous descriptions of landscapes, weather, rooms, streets, factories, cafes, bars, and emerging landmarks; he knows and understands the historical events, issues, politics of the period, which of them were remote from the working classes, and which were immediate. He tells his stories without contrivance; when there are life-changing events, they erupt into a context of daily life that he conveys no less compellingly. He can show us the clothes his characters are wearing, tell us how these people smell, describe the effect of alcohol and toil on their bodies. Most of all he understand their values, their ideals, their emotions, their human integrity; he admires their enduring strengths, and views their weaknesses with compassion. Jennifer Brown Baverstam's skillful translation is at once transparent and rooted, like its source. --Richard Dyer, The Boston Globe
Stockholm Series IV: In a City Transformed
In a City Transformed is the fourth volume of the acclaimed Stockholm Series by Per Anders Fogelstrom. It opens with the watershed year of 1928, on the eve of the Great Depression. As Sweden heads toward the years of economic crisis and massive unemployment, we the readers reacquaint ourselves with well-loved characters from previous volumes as they age and ponder their existence. The dramatic turns of events of younger characters' lives capture the reader, as they enter adulthood in a volatile period in history. People grow and change as does the ever-transforming city, and meanwhile, the world becomes engulfed in yet another world war. The war unfolds through the words and thoughts of Fogelstrom's Swedish citizens. During these troubled times, Sweden as a nation transforms itself, with the state taking on greater social responsibility, and developing what would henceforth become known as "the Swedish model.""
City of My Dreams
Translated by Jennifer 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 of him is at the entrance to the hall where the Nobel prizes are awarded. Size 6x9, over 332 pages. Perfect bound
Stockholm Series V
"City in the World," the fifth and last book of Per Anders Fogelstrom's famed Stockholm Series, covers the years from 1945 through 1968. The author depicts the progress of the Swedish social experiment during this period as Swedish society struggles to find peaceful solutions to many challenges. As ever, Fogelstrom displays great sympathy and insight into characters we know well by now, immersed in the world of their time, a time in which Stockholm has become a city in the world."
