Aventuri în timp. Vikingii

Dominic Sandbrook tells of Viking raids, sea trips, and myths. He starts with Norse myths about how the world began. These tales tell of nine realms, or worlds. Gods, giants, elves, and witches all play a part. So do kings and women who fight. We also meet fierce fighters and bold sailors.

This history is for young readers. It goes far beyond Scandinavia. There, it takes in cold fjords and thick woods. Then it moves through the kingdoms of western Europe. It reaches the mountains of Iceland, then Greenland. It goes on to North America's shores. It follows rivers in Russia to Constantinople and beyond. War helps shape the tale. So does the search for new lands.

Edward Bettison drew the pictures for this edition. Petru Iamandi put the English text into a new language.
