 The
Celts: Hitory and Civilisation
For many centuries the Celts were the dominant population throughout
vast areas of Europe: from the Atlantic to the Carpathians;
from the great plains of the North to the northern coasts of
the Mediterranean. Many European countries have been profoundly
influenced by their Celtic origins, and Celtic languages are
still spoken in countries such as Ireland, Wales, Scotland and
Bretagne. Best known for their bravery during wartime and their
battles with their surrounding neighbours, the Celts were also
remarkable artisans, particularly skilled at working with wood
and metals. They also used their knowledge of agriculture to
found the first towns in the north of the Alps. The Celts did
not leave behind huge visible monuments; however, the thousands
of objects that have been discovered are surprisingly original,
and are evidence of a sophisticated craftsmanship, culture and
society. This book features wonderful photographs and illustrations
of the Celts' remaining legacy, as well as a depth of information
on Celtic culture that will help the reader trace the fundamental
elements of European culture.
