Cat Jarman is a Norwegian archaeologist living in the UK, where her book River Kings: The Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads <\/em>has been received with great acclaim and become a Sunday Times bestseller and proclaimed The Times\u00b4 history book of 2021: \u201cThis superb book is like a classical symphony, perfectly composed and exquisitely performed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famous author of historic novels Bernhard Cornwell is quoted with the following statement on Ms. Jarman\u00b4s book: \u201cAstonishing and compelling\u201d. Another quote: \u201cCat Jarman will transform the way you think about the Vikings\u201d, says TV-journalist and historian Dan Snow, while Financial Times\u00b4 book critic William Dalrymple writes: \u201cReplete with witches, human sacrifice, Greek fire and funeral orgies\u2026one of the most thrilling works of archaeological detective work I have ever read.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The background story is as follows: In 2017, a carnelian bead came into Ms. Jarman\u00b4s temporary possession. River Kings<\/em> sees her trace its path back to eighth-century Baghdad and India, discovering along the way that the Viking\u00b4s route was far more varied than we might think, that with them came people from the Middle East, not just Scandinavians, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her appearance at the Tonsberg Viking Festival is a unique opportunity to learn more about this exiting subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\"en_GB\"\/<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
