The Joel Gustafsson series by Henning Mankell has seven entries published between 1990 and 1998. The list includes both the original-language editions and their English translations, so some titles appear as pairs. A Bridge to the Stars (1990) and its Swedish counterpart Hunden som sprang mot en stjarna share the first two spots, while Shadows in the Twilight (1991) and Cienie rosna o zmierzchu represent another translated pairing.
When the Snow Fell came out in 1996, and The Journey to the End of the World closed the series in 1998, alongside its German edition Die Reise ans Ende der Welt. Readers following the Joel Gustafsson story should start with A Bridge to the Stars and read forward in order.
