Description
Freetown Christiania: A True Account of Sex, Drugs and Anarchy In 1970, a group of squatters took over an abandoned military base in Copenhagen, transforming it into a thriving community. The site attracted people from all walks of life, who came to create an alternative way of living based on personal freedom and rejection of authority. Twenty-five years later, Eugine Losse found himself in the midst of this alternative world, encountering its eccentricities firsthand. Through his experiences, Losse offers a glimpse into the daily life of Freetown Christiania, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. From the hash market to the collectivised cafe, and from the confrontations with the authorities to the seductive charm of a local woman, Losse's account is a raw and unflinching portrayal of a world that defies convention. This book is a unique and thought-provoking account of a remarkable community, one that continues to fascinate and intrigue those who encounter it.
