De la contraportada
CONQUERORS OF THE TWILIGHT
The Celts have been described as 'one of the great barbarian peoples of the world', much given to ferocious, excitable and warlike behaviour. But despite their numerical smallness they made a major and lasting contribution to Western civilisation.
Beginning in the plains of Hungary and progressing through Austria, Switzerland, southern Germany and France into Scotland, Wales and Ireland, Frank Delaney traces the origin, growth, flowering and eventual decline of a people whose very name conjures romance and adventure.
'The Celts' brushes aside the clichés in a refreshing and entertaining way, revealing much about the people who sacked Rome, penetrated the sacred heart of Greece by pillaging Delphi – and attracted the name 'the fathers of Europe'.
