The City Novels series by Per Anders Fogelström

The City Novels series is a series of five books covering different periods in the history of Stockholm written between 1960 and 1968 Per Anders Fogelström. The English titles are:

1. City of My Dreams, covering 1860-1880
2. Children of Their City, covering 1880-1900
3. Remember the City, covering 1900-1925
4. In a City Transformed, covering 1925-1945
5. City in the World, covering 1945-1968

For this meetup we'll do something a bit different. Pick any one of the books in the series to read (of course you can read more if you're ambitious or have time). Since the novels are mostly independent, there is no need to read them in order. The discussion will focus on the evolution of Stockholm and Swedish society, and how the books reflect the city and society today.

All the books are available in English and Swedish at the Stockholm Public Library.
