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. Fogelström, who was born in 1917, is greatly respected as a chronicler of his people. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis remarkable book tells the tale of Henning Nilsson and his family, a family whose origins and growth in the underclass of nineteenth-century Stockholm mirror 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIngmar 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Stockholm Series: \u003cbr\u003eCity of My Dreams \u003cbr\u003eChildren of Their City \u003cbr\u003eRemember the City \u003cbr\u003eIn a City Transformed \u003cbr\u003eCity in the World \u003cbr\u003ePerfect-bound, 6 x 9\", 332 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penfield Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054842855664,"sku":"9781572160880","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781572160880_p0.jpg?v=1763796165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781572160880","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
