In this collection of seven bilingual short stories, everyday lives unfold in the still corners of Sweden, from the trams of Gothenburg to the changing cityscape of Stockholm. Written in clear, literary prose and presented in both Swedish and English, these stories explore themes of memory, identity, quiet rebellion, and human connection.

The Red Coat: Bilingual Swedish-English Stories is designed for adult learners of Swedish who want more than just textbook dialogue. The stories are rich in atmosphere yet accessible in language, offering a unique opportunity to expand vocabulary and deepen cultural understanding through narrative.

Whether you're a curious beginner or an intermediate learner, this collection invites you to read slowly, think deeply, and discover Swedish not only as a language—but as a way of seeing the world.
