Beschreibung:
Jonathan Clements is an author and TV presenter specialising in the history and cultures of the Far East. He is the author of many bookss on East Asian history and A Brief History of the Samurai. He also wrote a biography of Mannerheim.
In the general mind, Finland is often swept up in the general group of Nordic countries, little known and seldom gaining prominence on its own. But as Jonathan Clements shows in A Short History of Finland, it has a long and fascinating history, oen that offers oddities and excitements galore: from prehistoric herders to medieval lords, Christian martyrs and Viking kings, and the war heroes who held off the Soviet Union against long odds.Clements travels the length of the country as he tells these stories, along the way offering accounts of Finland's public artworks, literary giants, legends and folktales, and famous figures. The result is the perfect introduction to Finland for armchair and actual travellers alike.
