Istoria Lituaniei

Su bibliogr.: p. 295-300„Istoria Lituaniei” (Lithuania’s History) is the result of a pioneering editing approach of the Romanian Association for Baltic and Nordic Studies, an organization that, during the last few years, has had noticeable initiatives supporting the research on the Baltic Sea area. This action is all the more praiseworthy as the Romanian authors involved in this publishing enterprise are the best experts in the history of this geographic region, and Zigmantas Kiaupa, a university professor at the University of Vilnius, who has been working for the National Archives of this country for many decennia, is one of the most respected Lithuanian historians and the author of a synthesis on the Lithuanian history, well received by the Lithuanian and the international public. The monograph signed by these four authors comprises five analysis chapters, an introduction and a chapter of conclusions, all these being well structured in order to attain the goals proposed, namely of rendering the main elements of the social, cultural, economic, political and international relations’ dynamics that marked the history of the Baltic state. In the first chapter of this work, the authors highlighted the most important moments in the history of the Baltic state: the creation of the Great Dukedom of Lithuania, its evolution towards the status of great regional power, its internal and external politics – including in conjunction with Medieval Moldova – or the constitution of the Union from Lublin. In its turn, the second chapter approaches the political, social, cultural etc. evolutions in the Lithuanian area during the period between the Union of Lublin and the beginning of the First World War (1914)Istorijos katedraVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
