A Brief History of Ireland

For many centuries, Ireland, a remote island on the edge of Europe, held a special place in world culture. Over 8000 years, Ireland has endured civil wars, enemy raids and conquests, famine, and religious schisms, yet this unique and distinctive island has not lost its connection to ancient traditions. British historian Joseph Kuhill masterfully describes the captivating events of the past and the difficult fate of the Irish in the present, revealing the multifaceted nature of this country. What were the ancient Celtic settlements like? How did the Viking invasion change the island's history? What was the mission of Saint Patrick? How did the Irish manage to preserve their language? This book will reintroduce you to an incredible island with a remarkable fate.
"The Irish can be proud that in the modern world their country is taken seriously" (Joseph Kuhill).
The book is published in Russian in two series titled "A Brief History of Ireland" (series "Cities and People") and "Ireland. A Brief History of the Emerald Isle from Celtic Myths to Saint Patrick's Day" (series "Historical Interest").
