評分英國人的吐槽真是逆天… 話說作者一開始的動機應該是為瞭吐槽丹麥吧,後來怕被老婆打死纔擴展到瞭北歐五國?
評分重溫瞭北歐旅行的感覺,跟著作者走馬觀花瞭一番。
評分Bitterly judgmental and condescending
評分四星推薦(如果作者幽默感噴薄更均勻,會打五星)Goodreads上的所有差評都可用作者正文最後一章的最後一句話來化解:you are right, I probably am a snotty Brit. ???? 一個娶瞭丹麥太太的英國記者寫的這麼一本介紹北歐五國風土人情,經濟文化情況的書,基本上是訪談加遊記。
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.
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.
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...
評分我乐此不疲讲的一个奚落英国人的笑话,是Maggie告诉我的。当年她在伦敦驻站,上班的时候挤地铁,温文尔雅礼貌大方的Maggie小姐要下车的时候,对身边一位英国大妈说“Excuse me”,当时地铁上人稍微多了一点(大概也就是北京六号线的十分之一吧),结果大妈一皱眉头,一口伦敦腔...
評分 評分你是不是每天都很不愿意上班、到了公司又饱受老板的折磨、却还不好意思请假呢? 是不是每次被迫听到父母说谁谁谁家的孩子又考第一,朋友说谁谁谁又买了大房子、买了新车,你就很想掀桌了,明明很无聊的事情为什么要被你们强迫广播? 是不是每当你想充分享受一下生活时,就...
評分英国人迈克尔•布斯的这本《北欧,冰与火之地的寻真之旅》与法国人西尔万•泰松的游记作品《在西伯利亚森林中》有很多类似的地方。两本书的作者都是以一个“向往者”的身份,踏上了自己并不曾涉足过的土地,去直观地感受自己渴慕已久的“幸福生活”。而二者到最后有多少...
