Stockholm Series IV: In a City Transformed

By Per Anders Fogelström

Book Overview

In a City Transformed is the fourth volume of the acclaimed Stockholm Series by Per Anders Fogelstr m. 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 Fogelstr m'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."
