Description

164 pages. Index. "A very personal book in which the author explains how his interests in Finland have developed in parallel with the transformation of the country from a pre-war agrarian economy to a modern welfare state with an advanced technological basee. An interpretation of the landscape is accompanied by a description of the features - often peculiar to Finland - that stir the five senses. Illustrates more familiar topics with a mass of 'unconsidered trifles' - a diary here, a manuscript there; an idea here, a critical observation there - to produce an unusual and often intimate picture of the country and its people." - from dust jacket. Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. Book
