About This Item
USA: St. Martin's Press, 1975. Hardcover. used-good condition, wear and tear on dust jacket/Yes. 5.5x8.5. The Celts: The People Who Came Out of the Darkness" by Gerhard Herm, published in 1975, recounts the sweeping two-thousand-year history of the people whose culture came to rival Greece's and Rome's and whose influence was felt from Asia Minor to Ireland. Tells the 2000-year epic story of the North European civilization that rivalled Greece and Rome for richness, diversity and power. Originating with fierce naked warriors who collected enemy heads as war trophies, the Celts eventually made their influence felt from the Middle East to the Atlantic, bringing with them a unique culture and mythology, and a style of art considered the greatest achievement north of the Alps after the Ice Age. The Romans called them 'furor celticus' and at the height of their empire Ankara, Cologne, Belgrade and Milan all spoke Celtish. "The Celts" is the remarkable story of our North European cultural ancestors, whose language is still spoken by more than two million people in Brittany, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
