Publisher's Synopsis
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.
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.
