Beyond the northlands : Viking voyages and the Old Norse sagas

Barraclough, Eleanor Rosamund2016
Books
'Beyond the Northlands' explores their 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.
