| Summary | "Capitals of the Northlands: Tales of Ten Cities" by Ian C. Hannah is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores ten notable cities in Northern Europe, providing insights into their unique characteristics, histories, and cultural significance. The author aims to shed light on these northern cities that, while less prominent than their southern counterparts, possess intrinsic charm and cultural richness. The opening of the work serves as a preface, introducing the reader to the lesser-discussed cities of the North. Hannah emphasizes the importance of these locations, highlighting their development by rural, nature-loving communities rather than by grand urban ambitions. In particular, he begins with Thorshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, recounting historical tales and anecdotes that frame its significance within the broader context of Norse history and culture. The narrative intertwines historical characters and events with vivid depictions of the landscape and community, setting the tone for the exploration of each city that follows in the chapters ahead.
