Sweden is widely admired as a tolerant, egalitarian society, though this image has been tarnished in recent years by the rise of the far right. Elisabeth Åsbrink, who loves her country ‘but not blindly’, presents 25 symbols of Sweden, including Ikea, Ingmar Bergman, Scandi Noir, and the footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to investigate the tensions beneath the nation’s urbane surface.
