Amazing news for non-fiction readers: Hurst has pre-empted the World English rights to professor Henrik Meinander‘s newest book Helsinki. Story of A City.
The title focuses on the history of Helsinki throughout the centuries, painting an interesting and detailed portrait of the Finnish capital and its evolution from a humble village to a Nordic metropolis.
Henrik Meinander (b. 1960) is professor of history at the University of Helsinki and the author of many acclaimed books on Finnish and Nordic history. He was formerly curator of the Mannerheim Museum in Helsinki and head of the Finnish Institute in Stockholm.
His literary production consists of high-quality historical non-fiction, with a special focus on Finland in the international scene. In Finland, his works are published by Schildts & Söderströms.
Hurst is a London-based publishing house with a focus on high-quality, ground-breaking non-fiction. They have previously published A History of Finland and Mannerheim Marshal of Finland: Life In Geopolitics.
Warm congratulations to the author and the publisher!
