The Norsemen in the West (Annotated). E-book. Formato EPUB ebook di Robert Michael Ballantyne

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Robert Michael Ballantyne, the Scottish master of the adventure genre for young people

First published in 1872, "The Norsemen in the West" (AKA The Norsemen in the West, or America Before Columbus) is a historical and adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Michael Ballantyne.

In "The Norsemen in the West," Ballantyne transforms into engaging historical fiction the well-known facts of the Icelandic Saga -stories of exploration and adventure, blessed marriage, alternating turmoil and peace with indigenous people- all sprinkled with delightful and humorous stories of day-to-day life surrounding the first European ground breaking in America.
The novel carries readers back nearly a thousand years in time, to the days of Leif Ericsson and the early settlements of the seafaring Norsemen. Journey from the shores of Greenland to earliest-recorded America, a plentiful land of lush forests, crystal clear lakes and rivers and abundant fish and game.
