Title: The Vikings by Else Roesdahl ISBN: 0-14-025282-7 Publisher: Penguin USA (Paper) Pub. Date: January, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Very Good Resource
Comment: A very informative book, it covers nearly all aspects of Viking life, from government, literature, and warfare, through sculpture, gender roles, and burial practices. The book seems written for people who already have a working understanding of Viking life, as it makes a few assumptions about the knowledge you already have, but even if this is your first introduction to the Vikings you should be able to follow along with few problems.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very complete and very detailed...
Comment: 324 pages on the Viking Age, dealing with weapons, ships, Kings, kingdoms, sexual roles, slaves, weapons, language, runes, jewellery, archaeological finds, art, religions, trade and the settlements. The book starts on the history in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but also expands into Scotland, England, Ireland, Greenland, Russia and beyond. If you liked the movie 'The 13th Warrior' or liked 'Eaters of the Dead' you will love this book.
BEWARE, most ideas you may of had about Vikings are WRONG! WRONG!
Rating: 5
Summary: Scholarly book for non-scholars.
Comment: I am not a scholar. I do love to learn about other cultures, however, and am fascinated by Norse and Viking life. Else Roesdahl gives everybody the chance to learn the truth about the Vikings. This is an excellent book for home study!
