Förflutenhetens landskap (The Landscapes of the Past) is a collection of historical essays. The book contains answers to questions such as: Who murdered Charles XII? Which famous field-marshal thought that an elephant had made him pregnant? Why were women regarded as being more sexual beings than men during the 17th century? How did people wash their hair in the 18th century? For which reason did spring cleaning arise in the 19th century? The essays cover both the grand drama of the past, including battles, revolutions, and political assassinations, but even more so the more intimate side of history involving attitudes to loneliness, dirt, fear, darkness and much else.
