TATTOOS HORNETS FIRE for the first time presents a pictorial dimension
to the Sweden that has been introduced to so many readers of Stieg
Larsson's luminous novels, and one that they have longed to know better.
Stirring photography by internationally renowned photographers of the
locations from these three books offer witness not only to locations
that until this publication have rested in readers' minds alone, but
with additional photography, provide an ambience of the entirety of this
beautiful, intriguing and widely unexplored country not recently
documented in book format. Here is a wonderful cultural excursion for
the armchair traveler; a memento for the coffee table of the reader who
has visited Sweden; and a first-time visual introduction for the
soon-to-be traveler to Sweden to the places made so memorable and
mesmerizing by Stieg Larsson. Created with the important collaboration
and support of VisitSweden, the Swedish tourist board, compelling images
created exclusively for this book by two photographers widely
acknowledged as the best in their field along with definitive
explanations of the sites and their histories by one of Sweden's
foremost travel guides combine to create an important document in
addition to a compelling read and visual tour de force.
