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 harsh naturalism, with all self-irony and a volatile tenderness for the world, 23 Danish writers testify to love, illusions, a lost past, a craving for light and self-destruction, about balancing on the edge of water and air, water and the edge of ice. And, of course, about happiness and the feeling of snow.
