The low sky in pictures

Anyone raised in another country who comes to live in the Netherlands soon gets to it. Yet, just when you think you know and understand the country and its people, something unexpected will happen and you find that you don't. In his successful book The Low Sky: Understanding The Dutch, historian and publicist Han van der Horst explained not only how Dutch society works, how it came to be that way. In the process, he sketched the dilemmas and taboos of modern Holland, and offered a run-down of the main themes of public debate. Here, in The Low Sky in Picture, you can see for yourself the Netherlands decribed so graphically in the first book. And for those who are living under a low sky for the first time, or who still occasionally feel like a cat in a strange warehouse, Han van der Horst provides a brand new commentary, trying once again to make the Netherlands feel familiar to all of us.
