«Il mistero dei Celti» is the historical essay by Gerhard Herm published by Garzanti in hardcover (368 pages, in Italian).
The book follows the trajectory of the Celts from prehistory to the Middle Ages. Drawing on classical authors such as Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, it portrays their reputation as warriors, their taste for ornaments, and the role of bards and druids. It also addresses their encounters with Rome and the survival of Celtic culture in Ireland, Wales, and Brittany.
It belongs to the collection «Il corso della storia». The author published «L'avventura dei Fenici» and «I Bizantini» in the same collection. The cover shows a bronze mask from the Pyrenees.
It will appeal to those seeking a work of historical popularization about the Celtic peoples and their relationship with the Mediterranean and Roman world.
Gerhard Herm was a German journalist and writer.
