Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. *A SCOTSMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR* Stranded at Schiphol airport, Ben Coates called up a friendly Dutch girl he'd met some months earlier. He stayed for dinner. Actually, he stayed for good. In the first book to consider the hidden heart and history of the Netherlands from a modern perspective, the author explores the length and breadth of his adopted homeland and discovers why one of the world's smallest countries is also so significant and so fascinating. It is a self-made country, the Dutch national character shaped by the ongoing battle to keep the water out from the love of dairy and beer to the attitude to nature and the famous tolerance. Ben Coates investigates what makes the Dutch the Dutch, why the Netherlands is much more than Holland and why the colour orange is so important. Along the way he reveals why they are the world's tallest people and have the best carnival outside Brazil. He learns why Amsterdam's brothels are going out of business, who really killed Anne Frank, and how the Dutch manage to be richer than almost everyone else despite working far less. He also discovers a country which is changing fast, with the Dutch now questioning many of the liberal policies which made their nation famous. A personal portrait of a fascinating people, a sideways history and an entertaining travelogue, Why the Dutch are Different is the story of an Englishman who went Dutch. And loved it. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: Very Good. : En este libro, Ben Coates explora la historia oculta de los Países Bajos desde una perspectiva moderna. A través de un recorrido por su tierra adoptiva, descubre por qué este pequeño país es tan fascinante e importante. Explora cómo la batalla constante contra el agua, el amor por los lácteos y la cerveza, su actitud hacia la naturaleza y su famosa tolerancia han moldeado el carácter nacional holandés. Coates investiga qué hace a los holandeses ser quienes son, por qué los Países Bajos son mucho más que Holanda y por qué el color naranja es tan significativo. Además, revela por qué son las personas más altas del mundo y cómo logran ser más ricos que casi todos los demás trabajando mucho menos. También descubre un país en rápida evolución, donde los holandeses cuestionan muchas de las políticas liberales que hicieron famosa a su nación. Este libro es un retrato personal de un pueblo fascinante, una historia lateral y un entretenido relato de viaje sobre un inglés que se hizo holandés y lo amó.
