Eric Brighteyes - Rider Haggard, H.

. .

Résumé :
A bold voyage awaits. An ancient wind stirs, and a question of fate pulls you toward the edge of the map. Eric Brighteyes is an adventure novel steeped in historical fiction, where late nineteenth-century imagination meets a Norse heritage that colours every cliff, fjord, and thunderous sea. Set against an Icelandic backdrop with a gothic adventure tone, the story glides between legend and lived experience, weaving folklore and prophecy into a vivid, living landscape. Its Norse inspired setting and Icelandic saga influences give it a mythic pulse, while its character studies offer a compelling counterpoint to public domain tradition. This edition foregrounds the work's enduring value: a rare window into victorian era fiction filtered through a bold-souled tale of courage, loyalty, and the clash of old faiths with new horizons. It is more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure that bears witness to a time when literature sought to chart both outer journeys and inner destinies. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. A public domain edition that remains a touchstone for readers and collectors who relish illustrated editions, folklore and prophecy, and the resonant echoes of Norse heritage. Ideal for casual readers and classic-literature connoisseurs alike....
