THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER & THE TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF 2021'Astonishing and compelling' Bernard Cornwell‘This superb book is like a classical symphony, perfectly composed and exquisitely performed’ THE TIMES Books of the Year Follow bioarchaeologist Cat Jarman – and the cutting-edge forensic techniques central to her research – as she uncovers epic stories of the Viking age and follows a small ‘Carnelian’ bead found in a Viking grave in Derbyshire to its origins thousands of miles to the east in Gujarat. ‘This superb book is like a classical symphony, perfectly composed and exquisitely performed’ THE TIMES Books of the Year Dr Cat Jarman is a bioarchaeologist, specialising in forensic techniques to research the paths of Vikings who came to rest in British soil. By examining teeth that are now over one thousand years old, she can determine childhood diet, and thereby where a person was likely born. With radiocarbon dating, she can ascertain a death date down to the range of a few years. And her research offers new visions of the likely roles of women and children in Viking culture.In 2017, a carnelian bead came into her temporary possession. River Kings sees her trace its path back to eighth-century Baghdad and India, discovering along the way that the Vikings’ route was far more varied than we might think, that with them came people from the Middle East, not just Scandinavia, and that the reason for this unexpected integration between the Eastern and Western worlds may well have been a slave trade running through the Silk Road, and all the way to Britain.Told as a riveting story of the Vikings and the methods we use to understand them, this is a major reassessment of the fierce, often-mythologised voyagers of the north, and of the global medieval world as we know it.

»Dieses hervorragende Buch ist wie eine klassische Sinfonie, perfekt komponiert und exquisit gespielt.« A Times Book of the Year 2021Als Cat Jarman ihre Arbeit in der Wikingerstätte Repton (Südengland) aufnimmt, stößt sie auf eine kleine Karneolperle. Fast hätte man den orangefarbenen Stein für Modeschmuck aus dem 20. Jahrhundert halten können. Doch was hat es mit dem Artefakt wirklich auf sich, welche Geschichte versteckt sich hinter seiner polierten Oberfläche?Ausgestattet mit wissenschaftlicher Neugier und modernsten Forschungsmethoden verfolgt Jarman den Weg des Karneols zurück bis nach Bagdad und Indien. Dabei wird klar, dass die Verbindung zwischen den Kontinenten weitaus vielfältiger und diverser gewesen sein muss als bislang vermutet. Denn zusammen mit den Nordmännern reisten Menschen nach Europa, die ursprünglich aus dem Nahen Osten stammten. Was führte sie in den Westen? Auf den Spuren der wilden Reisenden des Nordens entwirft Cat Jarman ein neues Bild von der globalen Welt des Mittelalters.

När arkeologen Cat Jarman öppnar en ask från utgrävning av en vikingagrav i Repton i England, hittar hon en liten orange karneolpärla. Den borde komma från Mellanöstern eller Asien, men hur har den hamnat så långt västerut?
Steg för steg spåras pärlans ursprung tillbaka till 900-talets Bagdad och Indien. Vikingarnas färdvägar var mycket mer vidsträckta än vi ofta tror, och med dem följde folk från Mellanöstern. Anledningen till detta oväntade möte mellan öst och väst kan mycket väl ha varit en slavhandel via Sidenvägen till det medeltida Storbritannien. Boken är medryckande och full av nya upptäckter som ger en helt ny bild av vikingarnas liv och de banbrytande naturvetenskapliga metoder vi använder för att förstå dem.
CAT JARMAN är norsk bio- och fältarkeolog, specialiserad på naturvetenskapliga tekniker. Jarman bor i Storbritannien och är seniorrådgivare till det nya Vikingatidsmuseet i Oslo. Hon har deltagit i en rad TV-dokumentärer för BBC, History Channel och Discovery.
" En mästerlig historia. [...] Jag var helt uppslukad. Förutom att hon är en fantastisk författare är Jarman en skicklig bioarkeolog. Denna utmärkta bok är som en klassisk symfoni, perfekt komponerad och utomordentligt framförd." The Times
"Fantastisk vikingaskattjakt. Det är berättande av yppersta klass." Aftenposten
"en välskriven upprullning av ett mysterium, där man lär sig mycket nytt om vikingarna på vägen. [...] Man lämnas kvar med ett sug efter mer." Klassekampen
"En av de mest spännande arkeologiska detektivhistorier jag någonsin har läst." Financial Times
"Ett storverk om allt som rör vikingarna [...] Cat Jarman tycks ha hela vikingavärlden i sin hand och orden rinner så lätt från hennes penna." Populär Arkeologi
