Download or read book The Vinland Sagas written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1973-09-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most arresting stories in the history of exploration, these two Icelandic sagas tell of the discovery of America by Norsemen five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Together, the direct, forceful twelfth-century Graenlendinga Saga and the more polished and scholarly Eirik's Saga, written some hundred years later, recount how Eirik the Red founded an Icelandic colony in Greenland and how his son, Leif the Lucky, later sailed south to explore - and if possible exploit - the chance discovery by Bjarni Herjolfsson of an unknown land. In spare and vigorous prose they record Europe's first surprise glimpse of the eastern shores of the North American continent and the natives who inhabited them.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Northlands by : Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough
Download or read book Beyond the Northlands written by Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dying days of the eighth century, the Vikings erupted onto the international stage with brutal raids and slaughter. The medieval Norsemen may be best remembered as monk murderers and village pillagers, but this is far from the whole story. Throughout the Middle Ages, long-ships transported hairy northern voyagers far and wide, where they not only raided but also traded, explored and settled new lands, encountered unfamiliar races, and embarked on pilgrimages and crusades. The Norsemen travelled to all corners of the medieval world and beyond; north to the wastelands of arctic Scandinavia, south to the politically turbulent heartlands of medieval Christendom, west across the wild seas to Greenland and the fringes of the North American continent, and east down the Russian waterways trading silver, skins, and slaves. Beyond the Northlands explores this world through the stories that the Vikings told about themselves in their sagas. But the depiction of the Viking world in the Old Norse-Icelandic sagas goes far beyond historical facts. What emerges from these tales is a mixture of realism and fantasy, quasi-historical adventures, and exotic wonder-tales that rocket far beyond the horizon of reality. On the crackling brown pages of saga manuscripts, trolls, dragons, and outlandish tribes jostle for position with explorers, traders, and kings. To explore the sagas and the world that produced them, Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough now takes her own trip through the dramatic landscapes that they describe. Along the way, she illuminates the rich but often confusing saga accounts with a range of other evidence: archaeological finds, rune-stones, medieval world maps, encyclopaedic manuscripts, and texts from as far away as Byzantium and Baghdad. As her journey across the Old Norse world shows, by situating the sagas against the revealing background of this other evidence, we can begin at least to understand just how the world was experienced, remembered, and imagined by this unique culture from the outermost edge of Europe so many centuries ago.

Download or read book Saga written by A. S. Lyons and published by Hadean Pty Limited. This book was released on 2015-05-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of what happened to the Norse people who inhabited the West Settlement of Greenland is one that is shrouded in mystery. Based on a true story, this historical epic provides a new explanation as to what befell the Norse people in Greenland. Faced with a harsh climate and unknown lands, the people of West Greenland one day disappeared. Their empty homes were discovered by Christians who claimed that the natives had killed them. But is this true, or is it one of history's greatest cover ups? Author A. S. Lyons weaves together a tale of intrigue and deception which offers an alternative explanation to the tragedy that befell the Norse people of Greenland's West Settlement. In this fictional narrative A. S. Lyons presents us with a picture of a proud Norse people struggling against some of the most vicious and unscrupulous villains since Game of Thrones. The Last Norse of West Greenland presents the reader with a new saga for Vikings facing a new and dangerous world, where old Norse ways come into harsh and brutal conflict with the new power of the Church, Inuit, and even with the far flung shores of exotic Vinland.
