Hrolf the young Viking has left the service of Jarl Dragonheart and sails with Jarl Gunnar Thorfinnson. When they find a home off the Frankish coast they begin to accumulate a vast fortune which earns them the enmity of other Vikings. The novel culminates in a bloody battle where Viking fights Viking but Hrolf begins to fulfill his destiny as Hrolf the Horseman

Composed in medieval Iceland, Hrolf's Saga is one of the greatest of all mythic-legendary sagas, relating half-fantastical events that were said to have occurred in fifth-century Denmark. It tells of the exploits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the 'bear-warrior': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and 'berserker' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic. A work of timeless power and beauty, it offers both a treasury of Icelandic prose and a masterful gathering of epic, cultic memory, traditional folk tale and myths from the Viking age and far earlier.

This book presents the first English translation of Half's Saga and a new translation of Hrolf's Saga, both classic Old Icelandic tales. Both belong to the mythical-heroic category of sagas, containing fantastical material and relying considerably on folklore motifs. They have at their base legendary, quasi-historical material which has served to anchor them more firmly in the Icelandic imagination throughout the 800 years or so of their existence. Will be of interest to the student of folklore and medieval Scandinavian literature.

A cruel warlord named Frodhi has seized power at the head of a mercenary army, and now all of Denmark must pay him tribute. The only threat to his power is the existence of his nephews; two young boys named Helgi and Hroar, who have been raised far away from their father's stronghold. They must run for their lives as a band of murderous warriors and sorcerers hunt for them.

Äntligen är den här! Pekboken som inte tråkar ut föräldrar.Men den är mer än så för här är nu pekboken som ger mer än de vanliga plattityderna. Den tar upp en del av det svenska språket som vanligtvis förbises och motarbetas men som ändå lever vidare utan att bry sig om sina belackare. Tack vare denna bok kommer ditt barn att lära sig vardagligt användbara ord och livsnödvändiga begrepp som t.ex. aina, göt och guzz. Uhr och Herolf har skapat boken som en hyllning till orten men den är även bitvis samhällskritisk och går att läsas på ett sätt för barnet och på ett annat för den vuxne.
