Ofredsår ("Years of Trouble") This is a big book about the chaotic 17th century in general and especially about the Thirty Years War, that pivotal event in the history of continental Europe, a conflict that resulted in Sweden emerging from being an insignificant state on the edge of Europe to becoming one of the major powers. Famous battles such as those of Breitenfeld, Lützen and the Swedish storming of Prague are depicted, but also a number of forgotten episodes, such as the remarkable retreat from Torgau. And amidst this bustling tapestry of large and small, the reader can follow the exploits of one historical figure, Erik Dahlbergh, the future artist, soldier and architect and his remarkable European adventures. In 1993 Years of Trouble won Swedens most prestigious literary award, The August Prize. |
