Q&A session with Natalia Kołaczek – I cóż, że o Szwecji [About Sweden, and so What] – led by Krystyna Weiher-Sitkiewicz
About Sweden, and so What
What is “the Bullerby syndrome”? How to communicate with a taciturn Swede? What makes the Swedes happy, considering that the summer in their country supposedly lasts only one day? Is it true that King Carl XVI Gustaf, in his concern for the environment, wants to ban the use of baths? How in practice does the famous Swedish equality look like?
The author answers these questions, guiding the reader through the gallery of utopian portraits of one of the happiest peoples of Europe.
