Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'An absorbing and humane account . . . Mr. Herman is at pains to remind us that the Viking world was never just a stage for mayhem. It was, he says, 'about daring to reach for more than the universe had gifted you, no matter the odds and the obstacles.' In short: We might all take our own life's cue from the Viking heart.'-The Wall Street JournalFrom a New York Times best-selling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist, a sweeping epic of Viking history that shows how these Norse explorers and their descendants have shaped the world and America Scandinavia has always been a world apart.
