| Summary |
"I wish to ask and convey what it means to be Norwegian, what we were and what we are, and to begin to answer that I must first briefly turn to our history in a European context, largely unkown outside (and even in) Norway. This brief book is for anyone who looks to Norway and wishes to discover why she survived and became a distinct, and this century, a rich nation."--Author introduction, xvii. |
