Four Swedish writers of the early twentieth century are gathered here: Hjalmar Söderberg with ironic Stockholm tales such as “The Chimney-Sweeper’s Wife” and “The Fur Coat”, Verner von Heidenstam with stories from The Charles Men about Charles XII’s soldiers, and Per Hallström and Sigfrid Siwertz with stories of fen, forest and town.
A fine introduction to Scandinavian short fiction, including work by the Nobel laureate Heidenstam. Download the free EPUB.
