“Mistress Smilla and Her Sense of Snow” is the most famous novel by Danish writer Peter Høeg. Written by the author on behalf of a half-Greenlandish, half-Danish woman, it brought the author truly worldwide fame, was translated into three dozen languages, published in millions of copies and filmed. This book is about how a person feels in a big city, distinguishing between dozens of types of snow and ice and reading footprints in the snow like an open book. About what the underside of modern European society looks like - with all its prosperity, uncertainty, excitement and loneliness - under the close, ambiguity-free gaze of a person of a different culture. Put everything aside. Read Smilla. And look around with new eyes.
