Norway

"Norway" by Sigvart Sörensen is a historical exploration of Norway's past, from its earliest settlers to its unification under Harald the Fairhaired. It recounts key moments and people who shaped the nation, revealing details about the society, government, and way of life for early Norwegians. It begins by looking at where the first Norwegians came from, naming different groups like Mongolian, Celtic, and Caucasian people. The book shines light on the bonde class, who were important farmers, and how early Norse religious beliefs and meetings called Things influenced decisions. All of this illustrates how Norway grew from smaller areas into one united country.
