Sobre este audiolivro
Fearless warriors, master sailors, and ruthless raiders—who were the Vikings, really? The Viking Age (8th–11th centuries) was a period of exploration, conquest, and trade that shaped the history of Europe. These Norse seafarers from Scandinavia were more than just bloodthirsty invaders; they were skilled navigators, traders, and pioneers. With their longships, they sailed across the North Atlantic, discovering new lands like Iceland, Greenland, and even North America centuries before Columbus. Viking society was built on honor, loyalty, and warrior traditions. Kings and chieftains ruled over clan-based communities, while Norse mythology, featuring gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki, shaped their worldview. The Vikings’ raids on monasteries and coastal towns struck fear into the hearts of Europeans, yet they also established thriving settlements in England, France, and Russia. Viking influence extended through trade routes that connected Scandinavia to Constantinople and the Middle East. Their advanced shipbuilding techniques allowed them to dominate both rivers and open seas. However, as they began to settle and convert to Christianity, the Viking era slowly faded, integrating into medieval European kingdoms. This book uncovers the real Vikings beyond the myths, exploring their culture, religion, and fearless spirit. If you love tales of adventure, conquest, and legendary explorers, this book is your gateway into the fascinating world of the Vikings.
