In the Shadow of Ingmar: The Autobiography of Ingmar Bergman's older brother

By Dag Bergman

The Untold Story of Ingmar Bergman - Through the Eyes of His Forgotten Brother
The world knows Ingmar Bergman as the towering genius of cinema - a master of the human soul whose name is etched into the history of film. But behind the iconic filmmaker was a brother - Dag Bergman - diplomat, war veteran, and now, posthumously, the author of a long-suppressed account that challenges the official myth.
In In the Shadow of Ingmar, Dag finally speaks.

For decades, the public only knew one side of the story - Ingmar's. His carefully curated memoir, Laterna Magica, sealed his legend. But what if there was more? What if the real story included sibling rivalry, betrayal, political exile, and a final confrontation on a windswept Baltic island that ended with the words: "I never want to see you again"?
In the Shadow of Ingmar is the explosive, deeply personal memoir dictated by Dag Bergman in the final months of his life - recordings that were sent to Ingmar himself and then buried. Until now.
Set against the backdrop of 20th-century Europe - from the battlefields of Finland 1939 to the Greek famine of 1943-45 as a Red Cross worker to the diplomatic salons of Greece and Hong Kong - Dag's memoir paints a very different portrait of the Bergman legacy: raw, conflicted, and unflinchingly honest.
Published for the first time by DMS Sweden, In the Shadow of Ingmar is a literary revelation.

One brother shaped the myth.
The other lived in its shadow.
Now, the shadow speaks.
