Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a vivid account written by a Lord of a sailing cruise he took to Iceland, written in a lively and engaging epistolary style that draws the reader into the narrative. It weaves together descriptions of a pioneering Arctic exploration with the author's personal reflections on the people and culture of Iceland, the traditions of the Viking Age, as well as social changes brought about by industrialization, and considers the economic and philosophical impact these transformative times were having on life in Iceland and Europe. The writer's ability to weave together insightful observations on the effects of societal changes with descriptions of the spectacular landscape and the challenges of sailing make this book an excellent read for anyone interested in this period of history, travel writing, and the emergence of Arctic exploration.
