Henrik Meinander paints a brisk and bold picture of the history of Finland from integrated part of the Swedish kingdom to autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian empire gradually transformed and maturing into a conscious nation independent state and skilful adapter of modern technology The main geographical context for his study is the Baltic region and the author links his analysis to structural developments and turning points in European history The book blends politics economy and culture to show how human and natural resources in Finland have been utilized and the impact its cultural heritage and technological innovation have had on its development In a departure from most conventional approaches Meinander gives greater emphasis to recent and contemporary events In other words he puts Finland into a range of historical contexts in its Baltic and European settings to highlight how both together have formed Finland into what it is at the beginning of the twentyfirst century

Excerpt from All in a LifeTimeI was born in 1856 at Mannheim in the Grand Duchy of Baden That was the old Germany very different from the Prussianized empire with which America was to go to war sixty years later and very different again from the bustling life of the western world to which I was to be introduced so soon and in which I was to play a part unlike anything which my most fanciful dreams ever picturedIndeed those were days of idyllic simplicity in South Germany and especially in that little city on the Rhine The life of the people was best expressed by a word that was forever on their lips gemutlich that almost untranslatable word that implies contentment ease and satisfaction all in one It was a time of peace and fruitful industry and quiet enjoyment The highest pleasure of the children was netting butterflies in the sunny fields the great events of youth were the song festivals and public exhibitions of the Turners and walking excursions into the country the recreation of the elders was at little tables in the public gardens where while the band played good music and the youngsters romped from chair to chair the women plied their knitting needles over endless cups of coffee and the men smoked their pipes and sipped their beer and talked of art and philosophy of everything in the world except world politics and world warAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books Find more at wwwforgottenbookscom
