The book "The Vinland Sagas"

Updated by political events, the history of the settlement of Greenland and North America (or, as the participants in the events themselves said, Vinland) by Scandinavian navigators appears in a new light. What prompted Eirik the Red and Thorfinn the Hopeful to leave their native Iceland and set out in search of new lands? Why was Greenland called the Green Land? How did the newcomers get along with the local population? And what are the living dead here for? The intricate interweaving of history and mysticism again and again reminds us of the eternal restlessness of European man. These works are both a chronicle of events and a fascinating adventure picture against the backdrop of grapevines and Gunnbjörn's skerries. From the European north to the American north - this is the path laid out in this book. The Viking Age has never been so close to our present.
