Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Translated With an Introduction by Magnus Madnusson and Hermann Palsson. The two medieval Icelandic sagas translated in this volume tell one of the most fascinating stories in the history of exploration - the discovery of America by Norsemen, five centuries before Christopher Columbus. In spare and vigorous prose they record Europe's first surprised glimpse of the eastern shores of the North American continent and the Red Indian natives who inhabited them. The sagas describe how Erik the Red founded an Icelandic colony in Greenland and how his son, Leif the Lucky, later sailed sout to explore and if possible exploit the chance discovery by Bjarni Herjolfsson of an unknown land.124 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
