Loading... Stockholm, City of My Dreams (1960)by Per Anders Fogelström
![]() Books Read in 2017 (3,403) No current Talk conversations about this book. Read this in preparation for our just completed trip to Sweden. While not a travel book to tell you anything about present day Stockholm, Fogelstorm paints a wonderfully grim picture of life in the 19th century slums of a growing city. I loved the book.

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.
