Förutom att vi erbjuder böcker om Sveriges historia, erbjuder vi också historiska böcker om händelser i andra länder. Om du har ett stort intresse för historiska böcker om andra världskriget och till exempel vill bli klokare om de många politiska strategierna och om Sveriges agerande under kriget, kan en rekommendation från Tales.se vara boken ”Hitler, Stalin och Sverige” av John Gullmour.

Böcker om samhället

Ett samhälle är en gemenskap av individer och det förändras mycket genom historien. Samhället vi har levt i har haft många olika faser, vilket har gjort att vårt stora urval har varit en nödvändighet då vi vill ge alla en bok de tycker är spännande. Om du är intresserad av de konkreta samhällen som har funnits genom tiderna kan du hitta böcker om allt från det traditionella, det moderna och det senmoderna samhället till det humanistiska samhället.
Här kan du till exempel läsa om de sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella relationerna mellan befolkningen, eftersom det har varit stora fluktuationer över tiden. Om du till exempel är intresserad av Kväkarna, kan en bok som ”Kväkarnas människosyn” av Henning E. Sandström vara en spännande bok att läsa. En fascinerande berättelse om kväkarna i det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Annars kanske du tycker att boken ”Society without God” av Phil Zuckerman är intressant? Boken behandlar många frågor om hur vårt samhälle kan fungera när Sverige tror mycket mindre på Gud än resten av världen. Vi har en bok för alla.

På Tales.se hittar du därför ett stort urval av svenska och utländska böcker, som ger en inblick i hur historien har påverkat vår värld. Vi har också böcker om den värld vi lever i idag och vilka svåra samhällen människor har varit med om tidigare och naturligtvis vilket inflytande det har haft på oss idag. Så skynda dig att utforska vårt historiska universum och lär dig mer om världens historia.
