"Norway" by Sigvart Sörensen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the rich history of Norway, covering significant events and influential figures from the Norse period to the unification of Norway under Harald the Fairhaired. This detailed examination provides insight into the culture, politics, and social structures of the time. The opening of the book introduces the early inhabitants of Norway, tracing their descent from various races, including Mongolian, Celtic, and Caucasian. It discusses the development of social conditions and governance among the Norwegians, highlighting the importance of the bonde class, which consisted of prosperous peasant-proprietors. The text also touches on early Norse religion and societal norms, emphasizing the role of the Thing, where free men gathered to make decisions. This sets the stage for understanding Norway's transformation from a collection of small kingdoms into a united nation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
