Jací jsou? - Norové – group of authors (2019)

Do you want to understand the Norwegian character? Then this new guide is just for you! It introduces the lifestyle of Norwegians in both serious and humorous ways. You will learn what they live for, how the Norwegian family and society function. This book will help you understand why Norwegians are proud of their country, their national ski team, and their educational system. It will also explain why they love nature, solitude, and their (wooden) cabins. In Norway, everyone is equal and everyone is equally important. This fundamental principle underpins the entire society and reflects in everything from taxes to family relationships. Years of hard work in frozen and isolated communities have led the entire Norwegian population to have an extremely pragmatic approach to life. For a Norwegian, a problem is simply a challenge to overcome, and failure is just another chance to try again. At the same time, Norway is a country of content and positive people, regularly ranking at the top of the world happiness index. Norwegian parents believe that children best develop their character through confrontation with the harsh Norwegian nature from an early age. In winter, you will see family hordes moving in a line on skis, with the father setting the pace at the front and a four-year-old child at the back trying to keep up.
