{"product_id":"a-history-of-the-swedish-vilhelm-moberg-9780816646562","title":"A History of the Swedish People: Volume 1: From Prehistory to the Renaissance Volume 1","description":"Beginning in prehistoric times and culminating with the Dacke rebellion of 1542, renowned novelist Vilhelm Moberg's two-volume popular history of the Swedish people approaches its subject from the viewpoint of the common people, documenting peasants' lives as well as those of the royal families. In this first volume Moberg examines Viking raids, the coming of Christianity, and the Folkungs royal dynasty, whose tyrannical reign lasted from 1250 to the 1360s. He vividly describes the arrival of the Black Death from a ship that docked carrying only dead passengers, and he recounts the reign of Queen Margareta who founded the Kalmar Union, comprising all of Scandinavia. In every chapter, Moberg faithfully imparts how history affected \"the whole people\" of Sweden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vilhelm Moberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816646562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816646562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.54w x 0.47d","brand":"Vilhelm Moberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986728255743,"sku":"9780816646562","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a97e4c8-fd67-4a93-abb4-8b5805197c13.jpg?v=1683284863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-swedish-vilhelm-moberg-9780816646562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
