Latvia 100 Snapshot Stories

A hundred short stories about our consciousness codes, values and virtues, special people, things and places — in honor of Latvia’s centenary, the Latvian Institute has published a new book in English called “LATVIA 100 Snapshot STORIES”. One hundred years, one hundred stories — snapshots of the codes of our consciousness, values and virtues, a glimpse at both the changeable and the constant Latvia, a reflection of the zeitgeist. Just like any other nation, we have our unforgettable experiences and past traumas, which we strive to overcome, big and small Victories that keep inspiring us and keep Reminding us of the things worth fighting for, special people and landmarks as important symbols telling the story of who we are, our weaknesses and strengths, and our future ambitions. The ingredients that make a nation are often the same, but their endless combinations are what make each and every nation unique and beautiful. Just like in the story about Latgalian pottery — we are all different, yet made of the same substance. Let us explore, inspire, support and celebrate each other, because we are all connected. We are all one.
