Sea Wolves. A history of the Vikings, their heroes and the Scandinavian world
6.99 €
Historian Lars Brownworth brings the extraordinary Scandinavian world of epic heroes, poets, and travelers to life through the stories of the great Vikings, exploring the profound influence of the Nordic Men on the future history of the entire map of Europe, from Ireland to Russia to Byzantium.
Leif Eriksson, who discovered the new world; Ragnar Leatherpants, scourge of France; Harald the Fair-Haired, first king of Norway; Erik the Bloody Hacksaw, who ruled in York, and many other real (and not-so-real) heroes come to life in the pages of this book. The book shows that the Vikings were not only a people of war, but also transformers and reformers, giving the world a new form of jury trial in England, settling Iceland, they founded Dublin and created a vast trade network stretching from Baghdad to the coast of North America.
