and therefore &#8230; we also were in the greatest danger from all sides.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Duke Magnus had been in Livonia for ten years when he submitted himself to Tsar Ivan IV, becoming the head of the Grand Duke&#8217;s vassal state. The project to form a dependent territory in Livonia was necessary for Ivan primarily for reasons of foreign policy, but Magnus accepted the offer and hoped to build more, uniting the Livonian territories in his own person.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a country torn by wars and political changes between the major players of Sweden, Denmark, Muscovy or Russia, and Poland-Lithuania, it was difficult to build a state, especially under a suzerain whose changeable mind often severely punished his subjects. Magnus nevertheless managed to unite the local elite, nobles, and small town burghers behind him on several separate occasions\u2014though in the end, the duke failed to meet their expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The political history of Magnus&#8217; state is supplemented by maps illustrating it in different years. The situation in 1577 is also highlighted, when the \u201cKing of Livonia\u201d managed to briefly unite a large part of modern-day Latvia. In addition to the history of the Kingdom of Livonia, the history of places associated with it during that period, e.g., P\u00f5ltsamaa, Karksi, Salacgr\u012bva, Limba\u017ei, etc., is also summarized.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243;

It\u2019s not primarily about samurai or a conflict or martial arts. It\u2019s about exploration, culture clash, the making of maps and how they are related to politics. It\u2019s a somewhat anthropological book in that it looks at the Ainu and Nivkh people of<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Sakhalin island. I studied sociology and anthropology in university in Scotland, so it&#8217;s good to have the chance to use some of that in my books. And its also about the animals and the landscape of the island and its surrounding waters. We have tried to make this a beautiful book by giving over quite a few pages to the fish and animals there, and to the beauty of the hills, the inlets, the beaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;book-page-reviews-section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;book-page-reviews-text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Reviews<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Name Goes Here&#8221; module_class=&#8221;book-page-reviews-quote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Name Goes Here&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;book-page-reviews-quote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Your content goes here.
