The Vikings, a fascinating and diverse civilization that spanned from the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE to the Norman conquest of 1066, have left an indelible mark on history. While often portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples was much more diverse, multifaceted, and influential than is often depicted. In 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle, each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia and an insight into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought, and died. The latest entry in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World, presents an absorbing, grounded, and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal era in history. Also available are 24 Hours in Ancient Rome, 24 Hours in Ancient Egypt, 24 Hours in Ancient Athens, and 24 Hours in Ancient China.
