Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... live, and have not forgotten them?" The king reflected for a brief space; it was plain that a struggle was going on within his breast. Of a sudden, he formed a resolution, and, drawing his sword, he said: " If fortune permits you to return to Iceland, deliver this blade to Kjartan, a colonist of Froda--" Again he hesitated: " And this ring to Thuride, his mother." " It shall be done, my lord, I promise you. I will seek Kjartan and Thuride; but from whom shall I tell them these rich gifts come?" " From one who was more friendly to the lady of Froda than to her brother, the Code of Helgafell." "And this will be all?" "Yes, all." Hervador bowed and turned away, to retrace his steps to the river bank with his companions. The king called him back. "One other precaution I recommend you to observe," he said. "This country is of great extent, and has but few ports; foreigners are threatened with death by the inhabitants of every part of it. Return direct to your home, without stopping anywhere on the way." Having thus spoken, the " White Man" made a sign, and two attendants took his horse by the bridle. He rode away from the forest glade as he had come, canopied by the folds of his white standard, with the nobles of his kingdom for his escort, while the multitude accompanied the Norsemen to their ship, in order to make sure of their departure. CHAPTER XV. SYASI-THE-FAIR. Feminine Curiosity--Syasis-Budir--A Flourishing Colony--The Skrellings again--A Fierce Fight--The Death of Syasi. Curiosity, we are told, is a feminine failing. Syasi and her companions shared that weakness with the rest of their sex. Their imagination was excited by the narratives of their husbands; they ardently desired to live among these " white men, " whom their chief...

This is a study of sea power and maritime strategy in the Classical Greek world. More than just a study of navies and battles, it examines how the sea was used to influence events ashore and how the use of naval power combined with land power had a defining impact on the period. After an examination of the oft-overlooked practical issues of navigation and administration, the book explores the idea of a ‘maritime consciousness’ in Greece and how this shaped the way the Greeks engaged in war. Naval operations from the Persian Wars down to the rise of Thebes are examined at the operational and strategic level, including a catalogue of the hundreds of different maritime operations from the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. Further, while the great sea power Athens is most prominent, it looks at other city-states to examine how they utilised sea power. This new approach uses modern theory to highlight some enduring lessons of sea power. It demonstrates that Classical scholars should embrace sea power as an important concept in the Greek world. Modern scholars of naval and strategic studies should cast their gaze further back in time when looking for lessons in sea power. This book helps to bridge the scholarship between these two disciplines.

843 A.D. The city of Nantes Burns. An unexpected betrayal forces Hasting to abandon his closest ally. With his heart turned black, he rekindles the savagery of his race. In sacking Nantes, his bravery and luck earn him a place in the skalds' songs. Word of his deeds reaches his kin in the North who set sail to Francia to join him, hoping his luck might help theirs. Thor of Dublin, Hasting's old rival, will seek him out and bid him join his new alliance of Sea Kings. Together, they will launch the most ambitious raids their people have ever attempted. They will sail south to the land of the Moors to test their alliance's strength and, if successful, turn their sights to an even more daring prize: Paris. The Norns make nothing easy. A secret affair will risk unraveling the alliance and bring the sea kings to the brink of civil war.

"David Abulafia's new book guides readers along the world's greatest bodies of water to reveal their primary role in human history. The main protagonists are the three major oceans-the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian-which together comprise the majority of the earth's water and cover over half of its surface. Over time, as passage through them gradually extended and expanded, linking first islands and then continents, maritime networks developed, evolving from local exploration to lines of regional communication and commerce and eventually to major arteries. These waterways carried goods, plants, livestock, and of course people-free and enslaved-across vast expanses, transforming and ultimately linking irrevocably the economies and cultures of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas"--

If you have always crossed the Atlantic in the spring-time or in the summer months, as do most tourists, you will find that leaving New York in the winter is more like a relief expedition to the north pole than the setting forth on a pleasure tour to the summer shores of the Mediterranean. There is no green grass on the hills of Staten Island, but there is, instead, a long field of ice stretching far up the Hudson River, and a wind that cuts into the face, and dashes the spray up over the tugboats in frozen layers, leaving it there like the icing on a cake. The Atlantic Highlands are black with bare branches and white with snow, and you observe for the first time that men who go down to the sea in ships know nothing of open fireplaces. An icy wind keeps the deck as clear as a master-at-arms could do it; and sudden storms of snow, which you had always before associated with streets or fields, and not at all with the decks of ships, burst over the side, and leave the wood-work wet and slippery, and cold to the touch. And then on the third or fourth day out the sea grows calm, and your overcoat seems to have taken on an extra lining; and strange people, who apparently have come on board during the night, venture out on the sunlit deck and inquire for steamer chairs and mislaid rugs.
