"The Best Country in the World" is an analysis of the deep contradiction inherent in the history of Norwegian culture from the 19th century to the present day, revealed in the duel between patriots and the intelligentsia party, and now in the conflicts within the Norwegian welfare regime. It is also a pamphlet that sheds light on the Norwegian talent for reconciling contradictions: between radicalism and conservatism, religiosity and secularism, individualism and communitarianism, utopian ideas and common sense.
Nina Witoszek, a renowned Polish cultural historian who has lived in Norway for years, stirs up a hornet's nest of political correctness. Her fresh perspective, sharp pen, courage of polemics, ruthless irony, and excellent knowledge of Norwegian culture make this book a moral biography of Norway, a country that amazes, provokes, and inspires reflection on the ideal democracy and welfare society.
The author describes Norway with sympathy, but also with irony. To understand the Norwegian soul is one thing. To make the reader fall in love with it and surprise him with paradoxes is another. To do this, the author juggles Norwegian fairy tales, anecdotes, quotes from outstanding thinkers, and spices it all up with a pinch of mischievous humor. Maciej Czarnecki.
