About this ebook
MGM's hit show Vikings on the History Channel has drawn millions of viewers into the fascinating and bloody world of legendary Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok, who led Viking warriors to the British Isles and France. Covering the first three seasons of the series, this official companion book delves into the real history as well as the behind-the-scenes stories. Viking historian Justin Pollard explains shipbuilding and navigation, Norse culture and religion, and the first encounters between Viking warriors and the kings of England and France. Interviews with cast and crew reveal the process of dramatizing this gripping story, from reviving the Old Norse language to choreographing battle scenes and building ancient temples for human sacrifice. This spectacular ebook is a must for fans of the show and history buffs alike.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book provides interesting behind-the- scenes information, accompanied by beautiful pictures. We read what the main characters have to say about all the aspects touched in the TV series, from religion to warfare to daily life, and we are given valuable information concerning the actual historical (or legendary, if you like) figures that are in the heart of the story. Now, if the writer of the series could use the wealth of the sagas and the actual history of France and Britain faithfully...I mean, Harald Finehair, the actual first king of Norway, serving (or whatever one may call it) Ragnar? Halfdan the Black becoming Harald's brother?Rollo and Gisla having a loving relationship? Really...Write the actual facts in the second installment,please.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5the books its very goods and also the movie to, still hope a new chapter on movies.
me personally still wondering about the viking culture until now
