Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
Wie eine nordische Saga beginnt und endet, höchst stilvoll, diese Wikingergeschichte. Was dazwischen liegt, ist aber alles andere als feierlich, sondern spannend und vergnüglich zu lesen. Mit Speeren, Äxten und Menschenleben geht man allerdings sorglos um, Hauptsache, die ess-, trink- und liebesfreudigen Helden haben ihren Spaß!
Die Geschichte beginnt so: Orm, Mutters Jüngster, verzärtelt und hypochondrisch, wird von plündernden Nachbar-Wikingern verschleppt. Das Schiff, auf dem die Nordmänner zu ihrem alljährlichen Raubzug gen Spanien fahren, kapern die Mauren. Leider sehen sich die Wikinger eines Tages genötigt, einen ihrer maurischen Widersacher zu erschlagen, und müssen deshalb - nicht ohne Hinterlassung aufrichtiger Entschuldigungen an den Kalifen von Cordova - fliehen...

Definitely not happy with any part of this purchase
I thought this was the Swedish version, no it's German...I don't speak German so this is now just an overpriced paperweight. Ordered this at the same time as another book and this took twice as long. Definitely not happy with any part of this purchase.
Worth the Trouble it Takes to Find It!
Having heard so much about this saga-type novel I sought it eagerly and finally broke down and bought it via amazon uk (after a long, fruitless hunt stateside). Rather expensive for the copy I managed to secure (not the one featured on this page). And it had lots of typos and editing problems. But the book was worth it in the end. The tale of Orm Tostesson and "friends", it follows the adventures of this typical late tenth century viking through nearly all the high-points of vikingdom in the period. From raids and servitude on the coasts of Moorish Spain, to visits with Irish monks and dinner with the Danish King, Harald Bluetooth, and his assorted guests, including no less a worthy than Styrbiorn Olafsson, the Jomsviking and claimant to the Swedish throne about whom E. R. Eddison wrote so brilliantly in his own viking novel, STYRBIORN THE STRONG, this book takes us through all the paces. Orm ends up with a very noble wife living in a backwater part of Scandinavia (the borderlands between Sweden and medieval Denmark) but even there he gets no peace since his enemies and adventures pursue him. And in his maturity another and final adventure comes his way when he is summoned to the eastern reaches of far Gaardarike (the country that was to become Russia) to claim an "inheritance" of great value. Along the way, Orm makes some good friends, some bad enemies, participates in some (but by no means all) of the great events of viking history in that period, and finally mellows to become a better man who embraces the new way of thinking while yet feeling at home in the old.
I did think the book a bit too episodic though this is no indictment of it since the sagas themselves are nearly always such and the "voice" smacks very much of the sagaman's art.
