Modern Vikings (en Inglés) - Hassan Sørensen

Almost a millennia after the Viking Age, the Vikings are everywhere.

In our museums and movies. In music, tattoos, fashion and design. In tourism, politics and popular culture. But perhaps even more present in something less visible: the way we think, work, communicate, trust each other, and navigate the duality of fierce independence and a strong community. 

Modern Vikings explores the fascinating space between history and identity, and what "Viking" means today - and takes you on a journey from the Viking Age into the present:

From longships to laptops.

From Oðin to atheism.

From the Þing to democracy.

From Félag to the welfare state.

From raiders to entrepreneurs.

From runes to modern design.

Along the way, it separates history from myth, fact from fantasy, and genuine cultural heritage from everything Hollywood has taught us to believe.

But this is not a book about going back. It’s about looking forward. It’s about the heritage we reinterpret and build upon. 

After all, we are still Vikings.
