Product Description
"For fourteen thousand years, people have hunted, grown food, built, struggled and loved in what is today called Sverige - Sweden. The way this once so barren area at the edge of northern Europe's ice cover became one of the richest and most developed countries of the world, is in my opinion an exciting story. So now I have tried to write the history of this country where war has often been the exception, and of its people who have survived all difficulties, who have never ceased to dream and today are involved in planning the future of Europe."
- Herman Lindqvist
Herman Lindqvist, a former journalist and foreign correspondent, has with his many television programs and nine volumes of Swedish history become Sweden's most popular historical narrator and has made millions of Swedes discover their history.
