À propos de cet audio

 The Saga of Erik the Red stands as one of the two pivotal thirteenth-century chronicles detailing the Norse explorations of Greenland and North America, alongside The Saga of the Greenlanders. Bursting with captivating tales of ghostly apparitions, wise women seers, and even one-legged native Unipeds, this saga is a treasure trove of both enthralling stories and authentic history. It powerfully illustrates the clash between Christianity and the ancient Norse beliefs, highlights the vital roles of remarkable women in Icelandic and Greenlandic culture, and recounts the Norsemens frequent ventures into the nearby lands of Ireland and Scotland. Most compelling are the vivid portrayals of real human experiences, featuring characters such as Leif Erikson and his intelligent partner, Thorgunna, who defied societal norms; Gudrid, the beautiful and influential daughter of Thorbiorn; Thioldhild, Erik the Reds wife, who withheld intimacy until he embraced Christianity; Thorbiorg, the mystical Little Sibyl, who shared prophecies with Greenlands settlers; and Thorhall, the wild hunter devoted to Thor the Red-Bearded, even at the cost of human connection. This translation by Arthur Middleton Reeves is drawn from a comprehensive collection entitled The Norse Discoveries of America, featuring the expertise of fellow Norse scholars North Ludlow Beamish and Rasmus Bj∂rn Anderson.Copyright Science Fiction Collection Monde Sciences sociales Spiritualité
