This thorough introduction to modern-day Norway and Norwegian
culture shows the impact a small country can have on the world in
terms of peace building, environmental issues, technological
innovation, and more. Culture and Customs of Norway provides an
up-to-date view of Norway, showcasing a nation that is part of
modern Europe, yet zealously maintains its own culture and
identity. Providing the most current information on a broad range
of topics-including cinema, literature, food, art, performing arts,
and architecture-the book also places modern-day Norway in a
historical context that makes it possible to understand how
Norwegian culture came to be as it is today. Readers will discover
a nation that is a fascinating juxtaposition of advanced
technology, especially in such fields as oil production and
climate, and some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the
world. They will read about such famous writers, artists, and
composers as Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch, and Edvard Grieg. And they
will discover how Norway confronts the challenges of modern society
without sacrificing its social-democratic philosophy of social
justice and shared responsibility, both at home and globally.
Photographs of art, architecture, nature, people, and more Includes
a glossary of Norwegian-language words like lutefisk and nynorsk,
that are useful for understanding Norwegian culture Presents a
political map of Norway A chronology of important events from the
Stone Age to the present An annotated bibliography of
English-language resources
