Despite certain distinctions and differences, the lands of Scandinavia, or Norden—Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands—are united by bonds of culture, language, and geography, and by a shared history that comes richly to life in this landmark work. Now in an expanded, updated edition, this definitive chronicle of five centuries of Scandinavian history incorporates the geopolitical developments and momentous events that have marked the Nordic world in recent decades.

Few military conquests lead to truly lasting cultural, political, religious, or societal change. Countries are often occupied by stronger nations, but as those inevitably decline, independence is reasserted and the country usually resumes its previous form. One exception to that is the Norman Conquest of England which took place between 1066 and 1071.

Prepare yourself for a voyage through time with Ragnar Lothbrok: The Saga of a Viking Warrior King. This book offers more than just a tale of epic battles and heroic feats. It takes you on a sweeping journey that fuses historical fact with enthralling Norse lore, painting a vivid portrait of the legendary Viking age.

Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations. The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled.

Christian Bennike – født i 1986 – er barn af en optimistisk og tryg tid med en naiv tro på fremskridtet og på fornuftens uovervindelige kraft. I bogen bevidner han det skift, som har fundet sted i Vesten og i Danmark: fra optimismen fra midten af 1990’erne over forceret exces i 00’erne og eskalerende utryghed og politisk opbrud i 10’erne til nu 20’ernes radikale fortløbende kriser: klima-, finans- og energikrise, Brexit og Trump, pandemi og krig i Europa. Kriserne har ændret vores blik på politik, etik og økonomi – og på os selv.

It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This "Other Renaissance" was initially centered on the city of Bruges in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, England, and even in Italy itself. Following a sequence of major figures, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this "Other Renaissance" played as significant a role as the Italian Renaissance in bringing our modern world into being.

We all have a typical image of Vikings, from the horns on their helmets to the beards and the clothes they wear. Their ships have a certain charm, and their reputation is that they were brutal, raw, and believed in multiple gods. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore some of the details about the Viking history. What did they do? How did they treat their women? Where did they go to conquer other nations? These are some of the questions we will answer.

Mellan 1940 och 1945 genomled världen några av de värsta åren mänskligheten någonsin har skådat. Medan kriget härjade runtom i Europa lyckades Sverige alltjämt hålla sig utanför det. I denna bok redogör Björn Fontander för hur nära det trots allt var att Sverige gång efter annan drogs in i världskriget. Det berättas bland annat om episoder då Sverige var en hårsmån från att hamna i stridsbehandlingar med Storbritannien och om jakten på den norske kungen.

Den 9 april 1940 inleds Tysklands invasion och ockupation av Norge. Kort därefter börjar flyktingar passera över gränsen mot grannlandet Sverige. Från början är det norska militärförband och soldater som anländer. De har undermålig utrustning och är dessutom dåligt organiserade. Snart ska dock strömmen komma att inkludera politiker, kungligheter, judar och meningsmotståndare. De sista att ansluta är tyska desertörer och krigsfångar.

Finland has long been viewed as the land of sorcerers and shamans. Exploring the rich history of Finnish occultism, Perttu Häkkinen and Vesa Iitti examine the significant figures and groups of Finland’s occult world from the late 19th century to the present day. They begin with Pekka Ervast, known as the Rudolf Steiner of the North, who was a major figure in Theosophy before starting a Rosicrucian group called Ruusu-Risti, and they look at the Finnish disciples of G. I. Gurdjieff and the grim case of the cult of Tattarisuo.

The history of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war has been well documented in a number of books and documentaries. What has received far less coverage is an almost uncannily similar situation in Finland during the same time period. Starting in 1917, Finland was convulsed by a series of events that provided a direct parallel to those in Russia. The revolution, the civil war that followed, and the impact of the end of World War I all helped to define the modern state of Finland. This is the story of a forgotten conflict, its roots, and its impact on Finland and beyond.

De hemmelige danske efterretnings- og sikkerhedstjenester har en lang historie, der naturligt nok ikke har været tilgængelig for offentligheden. Her fortæller Bob Ramsing alligevel overraskende åbent om de hemmelige tjenesters historie og deres arbejde under den kolde krig, hvor der stadig var spioner på spil, og hvor den nye elektronik kom til at spille en større og større rolle for efterforskningen.
