Summary
Toni Liversage: Celts in Europe
This inspiring read reveals the essence of the history, culture and customs of a great warrior nation, whose fate we follow through intense and dramatic changes from the end of the early Iron Age, through the Gallic Wars, all the way to the time of King Arthur and the Middle Ages. History lovers are partially familiar with the exciting events that give us a striking picture of an important segment of the old history of Europe. The author reveals the reasons for the impressiveness of the Celtic people, who did not leave behind any written sources, nor did they ever create their own state, yet in the period of their migrations they settled a large part of Europe, from Britain and France to the Balkans and Asia Minor. Chapters on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, on the peculiar, enigmatic and vital Celtic art, significantly different from Greek and Roman - make the work a unique historical achievement that simultaneously illuminates new meaningful connections in the entire European cultural heritage, which was greatly influenced by the Celts.
