Resumen del Editor
Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm-canny - courageous and above all lucky - is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take his place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination.
Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds, and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction.

No other city in the world could compare with it in grandeur, splendor, and wealth. And when it fell to the Turks in 1453, it must have seemed like the end of the world to Christians. Famed author Mika Waltari takes us into the last months of this dying city as revealed in the diary of John Angelos, a strange man hopelessly in love with the daughter of an eminent Byzantine official.

Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

The stories from Norse mythology linger in our culture today. Four days of our week are named after members of the Norse pantheon (Tyr, Woden (Odin), Thor, and Frigg).

Something in these old and puzzling stories still has the power to move and unsettle us and to inspire new acts of creation. This audiobook will give you a brief introduction to some of the best-known myths.

Historia
Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

Historia
For centuries, the Vikings have swept out of the Norse countries and fallen on whatever lands they could reach aboard their longships, and few could resist the power of their violent onslaught. They came at first to plunder and then to settle, an encroachment fiercely resisted wherever they went. Such was the case in the southern lands of Ireland. En route to the Viking longphort there, known as Dubh-linn, Thorgrim Night Wolf and Ornolf the Restless stumble across an Irish ship.

Northmen is there to tell the tale, to pay homage to what was lost and celebrate what was won. Focusing on key events, including the sack of Lindisfarne in 793 and the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, medieval history expert John Haywood recounts the saga of the Viking Age, from the creation of the world through to the dwindling years of halfhearted raids and elegiac storytelling in the 13th century.

In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first visits the old stories—Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, among others—and then holds them up against the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication, Trickster Makes This World has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural criticism.

Michael Chabon masterfully renders the funny, tender, and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein, whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like The Catcher in the Rye's Holden Caulfield and The Great Gatsby's Nick Carraway. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh incontrovertibly established Chabon as a powerful force in contemporary fiction, even before his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America, it is also an essential milestone in American fiction.

Ordered to hold an abandoned army post, John Dunbar found himself alone, beyond the edge of civilization. Thievery and survival soon forced him into the Indian camp, where he began a dangerous adventure that changed his life forever. Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

They're an odd pair, to be sure: pale, rail-thin, black-clad Zelikman, a moody, itinerant physician fond of jaunty headgear, and ex-soldier Amram, a gray-haired giant of a man as quick with a razor-tongued witticism as he is with a sharpened battle-ax. Brothers under the skin, comrades in arms, they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950.

A great road trip companion
We chose this book wanting to have something similar to Louis L'amour's Walking Drum and an epic like the Lord of the Rings. Historical fiction set in 900-1000 AD. It started a little slow, but was engaging in its history, culture, story, and characters. A good swashbuckling novel.

Amazing translation and story
Fast paced adventure of the Viking persuasion. These are not your ordinary peasants but aristocrats of the time. Sea, trips and plunder.

I Swear by Ancient Oaths, It is REALLY Good!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this title, especially when I realized that it was translated from a Swedish book, originally published in 1941. I don't want to say that I was "surprised", but I was more than pleased with the story and as I continued, I realized that I was fully immersed in the varied adventures of Orm Tostesson ("Red Orm") and was disappointed when it came to an end.
I will end this very short review by agreeing with the concluding remarks from the introduction by Michael Chabon: "Even though I have just finished reading the book for the fourth time, I envy you the pleasure you are about to find in the pages of “The Long Ships.” When you arrive at its bitter-sweet, but mostly sweet, conclusion, I trust that you will turn to your shipmate, your companion in adventure, and swear by ancient oaths, as I hereby swear to you, 'It is really good'.”

An Engaging Tale
I am so glad that Michael Chabon introduces this novel. His own story of how he discovered The Long Ships made this an even more engaging adventure story. The characters enhanced by the narration of Michael Page were splendid.
Bengtsson weaves his story from battle to home life and back again to battle seamlessly. I was fully engaged in every part of the book. This was a most enjoyable audiobook to listen to! Good for young and old who have an adventurers spirit.

What an enjoyable treasure, sorry to come to the end
20 hours seemed like a long time to listen to one book, but it was such a wonderful rollicking adventure and so funny that I was sorry when I came to the end.
At first I didn’t like the narrator’s British accent but it grew on me. He really was wonderful at doing all the different voices and accents and reading at a good speed.
It has been many years since I enjoyed a book so thoroughly and I heartily recommend it.

Rollicking good yarn
A fun and well written story, with great understated humor. The translator did a fantastic job, and the narrator is quite good. I enjoyed it both as a fun adventure tale, and also as a history buff seeing places and events and life at the time through the eyes of the characters. It's surprisingly effective on both accounts.

A skaldic epic to be sure.
It took a chapter or 2 for me to settle in to the narrative style but once I did I was thoroughly hooked. It's filled with action and bravery as any good viking story should be but the real surprise gem was the humor. This book is surprisingly funny with humor liberally sprinkled through every chapter. The dry delivery gives it a Monty Python feel that kept me smiling the whole way through.

Great fun and relatively accurate, I think. Wide ranging adventure from the Dneiper to southern England. in the time of the ascendancy of the Danes.
