The Vikings By Magnus Magnusson
2003 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0752426990 | PDF | 15 MB
The Vikings hold a particular place in the history of the West, both mythologically and in the significant impact they had on Northern Europe. Magnus Magnusson's indispensable study of this great people presents a rounded and fascinating picture of a nation who, in modern eyes, would seem to embody striking contradictions. They were undoubtedly pillagers, raiders, and terrifying warriors, but they were also great pioneers, artists, and traders-a dynamic people, whose skill and daring in their exploration of the world has left an indelible impression a thousand years on.
