Походы викингов

by Aron Gurevich, А.Я. Гуревич

Viikingid ehk normannid, kelle kallaletungid teistele maadele kestsid peaaegu kolm aastasada, on saanud väga erinevate hinnangute osalisteks. Neis on nähtud halastamatuid riisujaid ja tapjaid, aga ka muinasjutulisi vägimehi ja kangelasi.

Kes olid siis viikingid?
Kust nad tulid ja mis oli selle põhjuseks? Sellest jutustabki käesolev raamat.

About the author

Aron Yakovlevich Gurevich (also spelled Aaron Gurevich Russian: Арон Яковлевич Гуревич; May 12, 1924, Moscow – August 5, 2006, Moscow) was a Russian medievalist historian, working on the European culture of the Middle Ages.

Gurevich's work was informed by Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby, and he considered himself a member of their Annales School. He was also influenced by ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, challenging some of them at the same time. Gurevich's work was considered anti-Marxist and met with hostility in the Soviet Union, but enjoyed support abroad among the Annales School, although he was not allowed to travel abroad before Perestroika.
