Description
“Deliver us, Lord, from the wrath of the Normans!” — a thousand years ago, nearly all of Europe prayed this way. But Ancient Rus’ was an exception: here, the Vikings came not to plunder, but to enter the service of powerful Russian princes. (And, contrary to the popular “Norman theory,” the Scandinavian sagas speak of the poverty and backwardness of the northwestern Europe against the backdrop of a rich and developed Rus’, which astonished Western guests with the order, plenty, and near-universal literacy of its townspeople.) One of those hired Viking mercenaries became the novel’s hero — Harald Hardrada, nicknamed the Last Viking. The name of this great konung, seafarer, conqueror, and skald is known to every Scandinavian. His deeds have become legend, and the poems dedicated to a Russian bride were translated by K. N. Batyushkov and A. K. Tolstoy.
In his youth, Harald took part in the cruelest battle in the history of Norway — the clash between Christians and pagans — and, fleeing the vengeance of berserkers, escaped to Rus’. There, he became a close ally of Yaroslav the Wise and fell in love with his daughter, Yelizaveta. But in order to win the hand of the Russian princess, the Varangian must accomplish the impossible: travel to distant Constantinople (Tsargrad) and obtain the secret of the all-consuming “Greek fire,” which the Byzantines guard under threat of death…
Discover the first novel about the greatest of the Vikings — based on real events, beside which even Hollywood blockbusters and the best historical TV series fade into insignificance!
