The Wineland millennium. History and evidence. By Páll Bergþórsson. English translation Anna Yates.
An English edition of the book The Vínlandsgátan, published in 1997 and nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize. This book discusses the discovery of land by the Norse people in the Western Hemisphere based on the Greenland Saga and the Saga of Eirik the Red. The descriptions of the stories are compared with the knowledge that can be obtained in other ways about ancient navigation techniques, local customs, climate, flora and fauna in the Western Hemisphere, and the folk customs of the Indians and Inuit. The author examines old stories from a new and fascinating perspective that is nevertheless based on solid, academic foundations. The President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, writes a foreword. (Bókatíðindi 2000).
