La Norvège d’aujourd’hui, edited by Per Vogt. 160 pages, 160 photographic illustrations. Oslo: Editions Dreyer, 1950.

The stern magnificence and varied character of the Norwegian scene are here outlined. Among the subjects treated are ancient monuments, literature and science. The final third of the book is devoted to descriptions of regions: the cities and towns, the valleys of the east, the fjords, the north country to Lofoten and Finnmark. This is Norway at a glance—the best picture book of the country that we have seen.
