Experience Norway's majestic fjords like never before with this captivating guidebook! Whether you're an English or American tourist, this volume offers a deeper understanding of the country and its people. Written by an artist who has spent over 15 years exploring Norway, including two winters among its breathtaking fjords and mountains, this guide is the perfect companion for those seeking an intimate and unforgettable adventure.
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres—and "a diverse and masterly writer” (The New York Times Book Review)—comes an enthralling epic tale, written in the tradition of the old Norse sagas, that takes us to fourteenth-century Greenland and tells the story of a proud landowner and his unforgettable family. Jane Smiley brings us to a farflung place of glittering fjords, blasting winds, sun-warmed meadows, and high, dark mountains. This is the story of one family: proud landowner Asgeir Gunnarsson; his daughter Margret, whose willful independence leads her into passionate adultery and exile; and his son Gunnar, whose quest for knowledge is at the compelling center of this unforgettable book. Jane Smiley immerses us in this world of farmers, priests, and lawspeakers, of hunts and feasts and long-standing feuds, and by an act of literary magic, makes a remote time, place, and people not only real but dear to us.
Third edition, providing the independent traveller with details of the popular destinations and places to visit off the beaten track.
