Spend 24 hours enjoying the rich and fascinating everyday lives of the Vikings. Between the infamous raid on Lindisfarne in 793 AD and the Norman conquest of 1066, the people we know today as Vikings became one of the most expansive and influential cultures in history. Vikings are often depicted as marauders raiding medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of medieval Scandinavians were far more diverse and impactful than usually portrayed. In the book 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf captures an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a day. From the warrior to the slave, from the shipbuilder to the farmer, from the poet to the seer, each chapter offers an insight into the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia, providing a deeper understanding of how these people lived, loved, worked, fought, and died. The latest title in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World, offers a captivating, realistic, and tangible look at what it really was like to be alive during this significant era in history.
