As heard on Book of the Week, Radio 4
The whole world wants to learn the secrets of Nordic exceptionalism: why are the Danes the happiest people in the world, despite having the highest taxes? If the Finns really have the best education system, how come they still think all Swedish men are gay? Are the Icelanders really feral? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastical oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes?
Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians, on and off, for over ten years, perplexed by their many strange paradoxes and character traits and equally bemused by the unquestioning enthusiasm for all things Nordic that has engulfed the rest of the world, whether it be for their food, television, social systems or chunky knitwear.
In this timely book he leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success and, most intriguing of all, what they think of each other. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterised by suffocating parochialism and populated by extremists of various shades.
They may very well be almost nearly perfect, but it isn't easy being Scandinavian.
Michael Booth contributes to numerous British and foreign magazines and all of the UK's broadsheet newspapers. He is the author of four works of non-fiction: Eat, Pray, Eat, which was nominated for a British Travel Press Award in 2012; Just As Well I'm Leaving, nominated for the Irish Times first writers award; Sacré Cordon Bleu, a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week; and Sushi and Beyond, winner of the Guild of Food Writers award in 2010. He lives in Denmark with his wife and children.
看了introduction和iceland部分。本书是一本关于北欧各国的社会随笔&杂感类文章集合,作者传递的信息量并不大,价值也有限。
评分Bitterly judgmental and condescending
评分读完了,写得真好,文字幽默且信息量大。
评分撕开了北欧幸福平等经济发达社会和谐的外皮,让读者看到了一个更真实多面的北欧。福利社会的未来,移民问题,右翼政党的得势,鼓励中庸的社会常规,讨论的都是很复杂的问题,引述多方观点,没有清楚明白的答案,让强迫症有点难受。
评分2016-08-16 emmm 可怕两年就过去了,当年在书店里看到的中文版读了一半然后一直没有电子版就一直没有读完(因为不想买纸质回家emmm 最后实在太无聊,于是下单读完它....学习好好多小知识呢
断断续续花了比较长的时间才看完这本书,整体感觉是比较枯燥。原来看名字以为是一本游记,谁知是关于北欧五国的社会人文的介绍。而且由于是英国人写的,对于中国人来说就更难理解一些了吧。 丹麦:由于与欧洲地缘的最为接近,因此最欧洲。人们喜欢参加一些无聊的集体活动,例如...
评分早在许多年前,住在哥本哈根的英国男人、丹麦女婿迈克尔·布斯在报纸上看到全球生活满意度指数排名,丹麦被评选为全世界最幸福的国度。他马上重新看了一下那天的日子,不是4月1日愚人节哎;再上网看,发现全球都在报道这则新闻。他只能想:“唔,这里的人把自己的幸福感隐藏得...

评分 评分生活在一个高寒、高税率、社会单调的地区,会有什么幸福感可言?但它偏偏被誉为“人间的乐土”,没错,我说的正是北欧。 作为一个英国人,记者迈克尔•布斯将他的第二祖国安在了丹麦,结果他发现北欧人竟然比英国人还内敛沉默。斯堪的纳维亚半岛输出了众多品牌和文化,它们相...
