The Norman invasion of England in 1066 and the subsequent rule of William the Conqueror are among the best-remembered and often-documented events in European history. What is much less well known is that less than 50 years before the Norman invasion, England was invaded, conquered, and ruled by Scandinavian kings to become part of a North Sea Empire.

From the late eighth century to somewhere around the middle of the 11th century, the history of Europe was dominated by the people who have become known as the Vikings. The Vikings were among the first global explorers who established territory that stretched from North America in the west to Constantinople in the east, and from the frigid wastes of the Arctic in the north to the warm shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the south.

Runes—the cryptic letters of an Old Norse alphabet—are more than just a collection of dusty symbols from a bygone era. They're powerful forces that have long been associated with magic and divination. Since ancient times, people have used them for guidance, and they're still being used today. In fact, more and more people are discovering the mysterious power of runes and are incorporating them into their daily spiritual practices.

In this audiobook, you’ll discover what life was really like for the Vikings during their golden age. Learn about the most significant Vikings and raids, and find out more about their daily lives and the things that were most important to them. You’ll also explore their folklore and hear of monsters, gods, goddesses, and the epic adventures they went on.

Norse mythology and history is a treasure trove of rituals, beliefs and culture. Take a dive inside the lives and folklore of the Vikings.

Da Peter Øvig gravede sig ned i en research om seksuelle overgreb mod børn på danske børnehjem, viste der sig et uhyggeligt billede: Overgrebene var omfattende, velorganiserede og stod ofte på over flere årtier. Samtidig viste det sig, at både børn og ansatte på børnehjemmene havde forsøgt at råbe ledelse og myndigheder op, alt sammen forgæves. Gennem otte års arbejde mødte Peter Øvig en række tidligere børnehjemsbørn, som fortalte om organiserede seksuelle overgreb, de havde oplevet på børnehjem rundt i landet, især i 1960’erne og -70’erne.

Den 25. januar 1946 udleverede Sverige 146 baltiske flygtninge til en uvis skæbne i Sovjetunionen. Det var afslutningen på en af efterkrigstidens mest dramatiske politiske affærer, på en vinter fuld af protester, sultestrejker og selvmord.

Pinsebevægelsen i Sverige bliver i det 20. århundrede Skandinaviens største åndelige vækkelse. Et verdensimperium i virkeligheden skabt ved én mands kraft.

Hans offentlige og private liv er begge præget af store kampe - i bevægelsen især mod den tidligere ven og medkæmper, siden hans værste fjende, digteren Sven Lidman.

"Gudrun og det hvide snit" afdækker et grumt stykke danmarkshistorie. Gennem sin barndom har forfatter og journalist Janne Aagaard besøgt sin mors moster Gudrun på et plejehjem i Arden og undret sig over Gudruns skæbne: "Hun var lidt af en legende i vores familie. Gudrun, der var indlagt stort set hele sit liv, damen med bare et ben, hende der elskede mænd. Skammen og skylden lå som et stort tæppe over hende og hendes begrædelige liv." Gudrun er en af de 4500 danskere, der fra midten af 1940’ene og 40 år frem fik det hvide snit - det sidste blev udført i 1983.

Despite certain distinctions and differences, the lands of Scandinavia, or Norden—Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands—are united by bonds of culture, language, and geography, and by a shared history that comes richly to life in this landmark work. Now in an expanded, updated edition, this definitive chronicle of five centuries of Scandinavian history incorporates the geopolitical developments and momentous events that have marked the Nordic world in recent decades.

Few military conquests lead to truly lasting cultural, political, religious, or societal change. Countries are often occupied by stronger nations, but as those inevitably decline, independence is reasserted and the country usually resumes its previous form. One exception to that is the Norman Conquest of England which took place between 1066 and 1071.

Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations. The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled.
