“The Spirit of the Vikings” is a new audiobook by Daniel McCoy, creator of the popular American website “Scandinavian Mythology for Smart People,” and serves as an introduction to Scandinavian mythology. Created using scientific standards, but in simple and clear language. It includes retellings of about 40 epic stories—sagas that reflect the mysterious religion of the Vikings, an integral part of which were myths. What did the Vikings mean by the word “fate”? How did they envision the afterlife? What was their moral code? How did they practice their religion? And many other questions—are answered by the author in “The Spirit of the Vikings,” opening up an unknown, mysterious world of legendary northern tribes. The edition naturally complements the introduction by an anthropologist—one of the authors of the bestseller “Suffering Middle Ages” by Sergei Zotov.
