The only anthology of modern Danish prose published in Russia will allow you to see how high the level of this literature is and to feel what a truly Nordic style is. What unites all these - so different - texts? With insight and love for detail, with existential anxiety and attention to psychology, with a subtle taste for mysticism and a commitment to tough naturalism, with all the self-irony and volatile tenderness for the world, 23 Danish writers testify to love, illusions, a lost past, a craving for light and self-destruction, balancing on the edge of water and air, water and ice edges. And, of course, about happiness and a feeling of snow.
