Sere sincero, compré este libro esperando encontrar un narración mas histórica respecto a los celtas, pero en vez de eso me enfrente a un libro que basicamente hace un análisis sociologico completo y acabo respecto a lo que fueron los celtas. En sí el trabajo no es malo, pero para lo que yo esperaba no quede satisfecho, ademas hay un tema no menor que vuelve bastante engorrosa la lectura, por un lado el autor cita muchas pequeñas localidades que hace que se complique seguirle el ritmo. Por otro el autor en varios casos cita en griego o cosas de ese estilo que dificultan mas la lectura del mismo libro. En síntesis, un trabajo interesante, pero solo si te interesa leer un ensayo sociológico y cientifico respecto al orígen de una civilización milenaría.

A reprint of the 1934 books of Hubert (d. 1927) of his books "The Rise of the Celts" (linguistics, archeology, origins and early history) and "The Greatness and Decline of the Celts" (history from the 6th century BC to dissolution under Germanic peoples in the Middle Ages, sociological shifts, and pagan religion). Given the century-old authorship, this is somewhat outdated for theories regarding language and some of the early history but it is, overall, a valuable resource for examining the Celtic peoples. Hubert goes as in depth as he can about many subjects and gives a helpful understanding of the Celtic peoples (since they were not nearly as monolithic as Romans liked to think) over a millennium of study. I recommend reading this thoughtful study.

De la formation de la langue à la culture, ce livre couvre tout sur les Celtes, civilisation trop méconnue en France.
