Beschreibung

Sweden's history spans more than a thousand years, encompassing the Viking Age, the rise of a powerful Scandinavian empire, religious reform, and a distinctive modern path toward neutrality and social democracy. The History of Sweden follows this Nordic nation from its earliest settlements through the medieval kingdom, the era of Swedish great power in the seventeenth century, the loss of empire, and the social and political developments that shaped the country recognized around the world today.

The book examines key episodes including the Viking expeditions east and west, the Kalmar Union, the Thirty Years' War, the reign of Charles XII, the loss of Finland to Russia, and the remarkable transformation of Sweden into one of Europe's most prosperous and egalitarian societies during the twentieth century. Written for general readers, it offers a clear and engaging account of a country whose history is often underrepresented in English-language publishing.

Contents:

Reader review:"An excellent overview that covers far more ground than I expected. The sections on Sweden's imperial period were particularly illuminating. Well worth reading." -- Lars E.

This title fills a genuine gap in accessible English-language Scandinavian history and is suitable for general history sections, Nordic studies collections, and libraries serving readers with an interest in Northern Europe. A solid choice for trade buyers across all markets.

Über den Autor

Hi, I'm Auke, a passionate advocate for the Frisian language with deep roots in Frisian culture. I grew up in this vibrant heritage and have dedicated myself to preserving our unique linguistic identity. It's spoken by about 500,000 people, mostly in Friesland, Netherlands. As a key contributor to [...], I work with others to create books that educate and inspire, helping ensure the Frisian language, recognized as an official language alongside Dutch, stays alive for future generations. My work comes from a strong belief in language as the foundation of history and belonging. I'm proud that proceeds from these books support nonprofit efforts like De Fryske Wrâld. Join me in sustaining this ancient European tongue. Let's keep Frisian thriving.
