Description

The Norwegian Soul – The Words That Tell Who We Are
Discover the Norwegian mentality!

Hjemmekoselig, hytta, hålke, værfast, brødskive, solveggen...

This book explores all those words that not only describe Norwegians but perhaps also define who they truly are.

Many of them are, naturally, connected to weather and wind, geographical phenomena, fauna, hiking and nature – and not least, to dishes such as rømmegrøt, brown cheese, and lutefisk. But you will also find words like utepils, gullrekka, pappaperm, oil price drop, naver, matpakke, the fiscal rule, Vinmonopolet, and the welfare state.

It is a colorful and varied list of expressions that Per Egil Hegge presents and explains in his warm, humorous, and subtly ironic style. He shows us who the Norwegians are, what characterizes their mentality, culture, and national soul – what makes them distinctly Norwegian. And without a doubt, he breathes new life into the debate on what is truly typisk norsk!
