A WITTY, INFORMATIVE, AND POPULAR TRAVELOGUE ABOUT THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES AND HOW THEY MAY NOT BE AS HAPPY OR AS PERFECT AS WE ASSUME
Journalist Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians for more than ten years, and he has grown increasingly frustrated with the rose-tinted view of this part of the world offered up by the Western media. 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 one another.
Why are the Danes so happy, despite having the highest taxes? Do the Finns really have the best education system? Are the Icelanders as feral as they sometimes appear? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastic oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes? In The Almost Nearly Perfect People Michael Booth explains who the Scandinavians are, how they differ and why, and what their quirks and foibles are, and he explores why these societies have become so successful and models for the world. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterized 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.
北欧五国一般西方人也不甚了解,如何解释这片乐土富裕安闲的秘决并不容易。既不能太浮光掠影地写成类似旅游笔记,也不能写成余秋雨的文化苦旅这种矫情的散文,当然更不能写成严肃的政治经济学论文。Michael Booth在有趣和深刻之间平衡得很好。
评分停在丹麦篇 本来以为是旅行记录 其实是一篇超长的论文般的百科全书 从经济政治人文历史多个方面深入讨论分析丹麦是世界上最幸福的国家的原因和揭示美好表面下的暗潮涌动并从多个角度展望这个国家未来经济和政治的走向
