Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead tells the story of Beowulf as seen from an Arab diplomat, Ibn Fadlan. In some ways, it is about a meeting of two very different cultures. Ibn Fadlam, a devout Muslim, is both fascinated and appalled by the customs of the Vikings, who have sex in public, engage in human sacrifice, fear nothing (or so it originally appeared), have a fondness for strong drink, and don't bathe regularly. There are sections I remember from reading the book over 30 years ago, such as when the Vikings use onion soup to discern whether an abdominal wound is fatal: If they can smell the onion near the wound, then it is considered fatal. In another section, Ibn Fadlan is afraid of being lowered down a cliff on a rope. They tell him: The only way to fall is to let go of the rope, and only a fool would let go of the rope--and you are not a fool. As he does in other science fiction novels, like Andromeda Strain, Crichton blends the truth with fiction: Ibn Fadlan was a real person, and the books alludes to some of his actual travels and writing. The book also inspired a movie called "The Thirteenth Warrior."
From the beginning, 'Eaters of the Dead' unapologetically mirrors the epic poem, 'Beowulf' and its film adaptations. Fortunately, Crichton's story also has a movie: 'The Thirteenth Warrior' strengths the book with perfect casting, atmospheric terror, and complex cross-cultural relationships. The book doesn't measure up to the writer's other works, say 'Jurassic Park', in excitement and suspense. Yet, Antonio Banderas as Ahmed Ibn Fahdian and Vladimir Kulich as Buliwuf - and the horde of menacing creatures who come through the mist - make the movie an essential, enriching addendum to the novel.
I was thrilled to see this book in print once more. My copy has been read, shared, and read again; it's worn so I snapped up a second copy. Don't miss your chance to own it. This book is based upon surviving fragments of Ibn Fadlan's journal written while he lived among the Northmen--Vikings, often thought to be barbaric, quite primitive, all brawn with small brains. A fine professor translated the fragments of Fadlan's journal, and Crichton learned of them while studying in college. He turned the translated fragments into a novel that tells of the unrepentant warrior nature of these men, but also tells of their courage, brotherhood, and loyalty. They were more than bullies and bruisers. Read Crichton's foreword and afterword, but above all, enjoy the story of Buliwyf, a mirror image of Beowulf, the English epic poem read in most high schools year after year after year. The book is a good action tale, and it's a lesson in another pocket of the Western world.
I'm normally a great fan of Crichton, but I didn't care too much for this story. I was simply unable to develop much attachment for the narrator, and a plot that should have been electric wound up feeling kind of like a newspaper article. The problem is not with Crichton's story-craft; it is with the man telling the story. I think Crichton did exactly what he intended to because it really felt like it was composed by somebody else. I'll give him points for the plot, characters, and word use. I just found this creation too dry for the material that it was covering.
I cannot believe this little gem inspired the 13th Warrior! What a FANTASTIC book and worth reading. Based upon numerous historical documents from throughout the ancient world. A job well done by the late Crichton wading through the mire of scholarly debacle concerning the witness of Norse culture during this time period through the eyes of a Muslim.
Written from a tremendously unique perspective, I feared the book would be dry and uninteresting. Not so. The story captured me by the 2nd page, and held my attention as few ever do.
Several months ago one of my cyber-friends wrote a review on "The 13th Warrior" and invited me to see the movie. After reading the book it was based on, Michel Crichton's "Eaters of The Dead," I watched the movie.The movie was a financial disaster, losing over 100 million at the box office; I enjoyed both the movie and the book.For the most part, the movie stuck to the text; however, as always, I would recommend reading the novel first. While Crichton markets the book as fiction, it is based on the 300 year old translations of, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan's 921 A.D. eyewitness account of his travels from Bagdad to Russia and contact with the Vikings.As a result of a dare, Crichton's set out to prove that epic poem, "Beowulf" was based on actual events. The plan was to strip away fiction from fact to get to the bottom of it. Realizing that had been exposed to Ibn Fadlan's documentation of Viking life and culture. Accordingly, he put together this scholarly yet interesting story from Ibn's viewpoint.On an emissary mission assigned him by a Muslim ruler of Bagdad, Ibn came upon a group of Warrior Vikings who king had passed away. While at their camp, a Nobel messenger from King Hrothgar relayed that the King was under attack from a beastly tribe of mist demons. A soothsayer (angel of death) set in motion the selection of 12 Viking Warriors and a foreigner as the rescuers. Conscripted, Ibn reluctantly joined the 12 Warriors, led by Buliwyf to do battle with the mysterious "Mist Monsters" against all odds in an attempt to save the Kingdom.While the movie, stars Antonio Banderas, who plays the part of Ibn Fadlan and Vladimir Kulich as Buliwyf and Omar Sharif with a small part as Melchisidek, Ibn's interpreter, I recommend that you read this short, 186-page action adventure prior to watching the movie.Enjoy!
