这本幽默实用的指南包含有抱负的维金人需要了解的有关北欧战士生活的所有信息。专家指导包括：如何掠夺修道院；如何在暴风雨般的海洋上保住自己的午餐；如果你想看起来像头儿，该穿什么，不该穿什么；以及如何避免让战斧穿过你的胸膛。

根据历史学家John Haywood的畅销书《维金人》改编，《所以你想成为一名维金人吗？》包含最新的学术研究，与日本漫画家Takayo Akiyama的滑稽插图相得益彰，再现了公元991年的维金人的经历。

This humorous and handy guide contains all the information aspiring Vikings need to know about life as a Norse warrior. Expert tips include: how to plunder a monastery; how to keep your lunch in stormy seas; what to wear and what not to wear if you want to look like a boss; and how to avoid getting a battleaxe through your chest.

Based on the bestselling Viking by historian John Haywood, So you want to be a Viking? features the field s latest scholarship, complemented by the zany illustrations of Japanese cartoonist Takayo Akiyama. The result is a book that brings to life the experience of being a Viking in 991 ce from learning to steer a longship to cleaning one s spear after a particularly bloody battle through a crew of likeable (as well as highly disagreeable) characters.
