Do we know well who the Vikings are - these great and harsh warriors of the North? What role did they play in the history of Rus'? Many books have already been written about the Vikings, about their military campaigns and ocean wanderings - right up to Greenland and North America. But with each previously unknown saga (and this is exactly the kind of meeting that awaits the reader in this book!) we discover a newly forgotten world in which gray-haired skalds compose their songs, and warriors fearlessly face death, knowing that the bright Valhalla has been bequeathed to them.< /p>
