From the Book publisher's description: " Like many Swedes, foreigners may wonder if there are things so absolutely Swedish, so steeped in the Swedish colour that, in the silence beyond the last analysis, they do truly distinguish Swedes from all other people. INGEMAR UNGE, a writer well known for his causeries in Dagens Nyheter, has faced this conundrum for years. His answers are symphatetic but to the point: it is not uniquely Swedish, for example, to fall into ecstasy upon tracing in the snows of late February some tiny sign of distant spring? In this book, his responses to this puzzle were prompted by a selection of wonderful colour photos taken by Swedes - at least, by those who contributed them to the annual competitions arranged by Swedish Touring Club. Thanks to them, the humour and insights of his text have a splendid visual dimension." First published as HELSVENSKT, 1987. Translated from the Swedish by Jeremy Franks. 24,5 x 21,5 cm 542 g.
