Inhaltsangabe
As raiders and explorers, the Vikings played a decisive role in the formation of Latin Christendom, and particularly of western Europe.
Now, in a series of 36 vivid lectures by an honored teacher and classical scholar, you have the opportunity to understand this remarkable race as never before, studying the Vikings not only as warriors, but in all of the other roles in which they were equally extraordinary - merchants, artists, kings, raiders, seafarers, shipbuilders, and creators of a remarkable literature of myths and sagas. Professor Harl draws insights from an astonishing array of sources: The Russian Primary Chronicle (a Slavic text from medieval Kiev), 13th-century Icelandic poems and sagas, Byzantine accounts, Arab geographies, annals of Irish monks who faced Viking raids, Roman reports, and scores of other firsthand contemporary documents.
Among the topics you'll explore are the profound influence of the Norse gods and heroes on Viking culture and the Vikings' extraordinary accomplishments as explorers and settlers in Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland. And with the help of archaeological findings, you'll learn to analyze Viking ship burials, rune stones and runic inscriptions, Viking wood carving, jewelry, sculpture, and metalwork. By the end of the series, you'll have a new understanding of what it meant to be a Viking and a richer appreciation of this remarkable race - a people who truly defined the history of Europe, and whose brave, adventurous, and creative spirit still survives today.

Outstanding and Inspiring - a must listen
Würden Sie The Vikings noch mal anhören? Warum?
This course is packed with information and deeper insights. Professor Harl keeps a professional distance, but is able to spur interest, fascination, and dedication to the topic. This is really an outstanding course and even if the viking age is not your primary field of interest you will stay listening to the last sentence. Really remarkable.
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
This is a rather scientific view of the viking history. If you are looking for opportunities to emerge into the times and viking stories you might not find what you are looking for.

Great story, poor speaker
The author provided me with fascinating new insights about Viking culture, especially the early making of a Ukrainian and/or Russian state, so closely tied to Constantinople. However, his audio rendering of this thrilling history is mediocre at best: Hundreds of "very, very", some "moms" and "dads", constant "uhms" and "ahs" and loads and loads of repetitions within the same line of thought. Pronunciation of names and places are often hardly intelligible (Who are "Leaf" Erikson or "Haykon"? Where on earth is "Mount" Laki? How is Trondheim the translation of "Trondelack"?).
That was very annoying and doesn't seem appropriate for a scholarly review of anything Scandinavian. I wonder if the author has ever travelled to on of the countries he speaks about and if he has any command of Scandinavian languages.

good to hear and contains
a lots of informations and interestingly designed, but, the pronunciation of the names and places, terrible, difficult to understand even for me as a native German Icelander.
