The Baltic Story
The Baltic Story recounts the shared history of the countries around the Baltic, from the events of a thousand years ago to today. It shows the ties of blood and commerce that have bound the different lands which now lie in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Western Russia and eastern Germany. The narrative encompasses the foundation of some of Europe's greatest cities, including St Petersburg, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Gdánsk. The earliest settlers created a commercial network. As these Hansa merchants became wealthier, they began to impose on the political affairs of their neighbours. In Poland, descendants of her first rulers eventually united their territories...

The Story of Scandinavia
In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture. 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. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity. What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
Cidade de Espiões
Uma grande história de espionagem na Lisboa da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Lisboa, 1943. Quando é descoberta, a agente especial Elisabeth de Mornay foge de Paris. Perseguida pela Gestapo, consegue chegar a Lisboa, território neutro onde a elite europeia convive lado a lado com diplomatas, homens de negócios, ladrões e espiões. Um paraíso em plena guerra. Ou talvez não. Elisabeth recebe uma nova identidade e novas ordens: assumindo o nome de Solange Verin, riquíssima viúva francesa, terá de se infiltrar numa célula alemã que visa atacar navios dos Aliados, antes que mais militares britânicos sejam assassinados. Com um oficial da Gestapo no seu encalço, o perigo aumenta à medida que se aproxima da verdade. Elisabeth está determinada, mas haverá alguém em quem possa confiar, numa Lisboa em que ninguém é quem diz ser?
The Baltic
In this overview of the Baltic region from the Vikings to the European Union, Michael North presents the sea and the lands that surround it as a Nordic Mediterranean, a maritime zone of shared influence, with its own distinct patterns of trade, cultural exchange, and conflict. Covering over a thousand years in a part of the world where seas have been much more connective than land, The Baltic: A History transforms the way we think about a body of water too often ignored in studies of the world’s major waterways. The Baltic lands have been populated since prehistory by diverse linguistic groups: Balts, Slavs, Germans, and Finns. North traces how the various tribes, peoples, and states of th...
