For Belin's Ancient Worlds collection, Lucie Malbos retraces a thousand-year history of Scandinavia. Often reduced to its violent contacts with the West, the history of the peoples of the North in the first millennium is nevertheless marked by remarkable diversity and great complexity. From the time of the Roman Empire, through their expeditions across the seas and their interactions with other populations, men and women of the North, led by the Vikings, were at the origin of political, economic, social, cultural, and religious transformations wherever they went, but also, and perhaps even above all, at home.
