Berlin Peter To the Swedes Издательство: Oval Books Жанр: Oval Books Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 96 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub Soulful sadness A common trait among Swedish people is a deeply felt svarmod, a dark melancholy born out of long winters, high taxes, and a sense of being stuck far out on a geo-political and socio-economic limb. They brood a lot over the meaning of life in a self-absorbed sort of way without ever arriving at satisfactory answers. Love all The Swedes indulge in sport for leisure and sex for pleasure. Some people treat sex as a sport in order to combine leisure with pleasure, and thus save time and energy. Nurture nature The Swedes have a dream: to save Nature from Man. This is more than just a vision — it's as close to a passion as the Swedes ever get. Net loss Becoming rich in Sweden has never been easy. As Ingmar Bergman found out, even millionaires can have difficulties making ends meet when income tax is levied at 102%.
