1793

In his debut novel, 1793, Niklas Natt och Dag paints a compelling portrait of late 18th-century Stockholm. Through the eyes of different narrators, the powdered veneer and paint of the era are stripped away to reveal the terrifying, yet fascinating, reality hidden beyond the dry facts of history texts. With one foot firmly planted in literary tradition and the other in suspense literature, Natt och Dag creates an entirely new genre of evocative and realistic historical thriller. He portrays the capacity for cruelty in the name of survival or greed – but also the capacity for love, friendship, and the desire for a better world.
