Sauna, The essence of Finland

Mehr zum Buch

Sauna – The Essence of Finland is a visual feast—an engaging panorama view of Finnish sauna culture and spirit. Expressive photographs lead the reader into the peculiarities of the steam-stricken Finns: from sauna-yoga to peat sauna treatments; from lakeside saunas to sauna-bathing in a gondola ski-lift or a telephone booth! Like the sauna itself, this book engages all the senses: the scent of a birch sauna-whisk can be found on the pages, along with sauna-bathing tips and even recipes. But the leading role is played by the Finns’ age-old relationship with the sauna—a fountain of well-being that has an indisputable place in the heart of every Finn.
