Exploring the Life, Myth, and Art of the Slavic World Charles Phillips

Of all the peoples who fought for supremacy on the vast eastern European plains, the Slavs have proved the most enduring. This book describes how they spread out from homelands beyond the Carpathian Mountains, settling territory south into the Balkans and as far west as the Elbe River. Equally impressive is their spiritual journey, which began with the worship of ancient pagan gods and matured with the dawn of the Christian age. Your readers will be fascinated by these lesser-known myths.
