Tim Severin: Viking 2: Sworn Brother

Viking 2: Sworn Brother


Description

London, 1019: a few months have passed since Thorgils has escaped the clutches of the Irish Church only to find himself at the centre of a capricious love affair with Aelfgifu, wife of Knut the Great, ruler of England, and one of the most powerful men of the Viking empire. A passionate relationship between two unlikely lovers begins to unfold, which forebodes uncontrollable consequences...When Thorgils is finally on the run again, he meets Grettir, an outlaw who is feared by most for his volatile and brooding behaviour. The two men become travel companions and sworn brothers -- which binds them together beyond death. At the gates of Byzantium Thorgils' loyalty is put to the ultimate test...Sworn Brother continues an utterly compelling journey back in time to a world that is brimming with wonderfully crafted characters and their insatiable hunger for riches and renown.

Uncover the incredible history and exciting cultural life of Berlin with the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Viking 2: Sworn Brother free epub Berlin 2017. It is packed with expert tips on the best things to do in Berlin - from the iconic Brandenburg Gate to the world-class galleries of Museum Island and the historic remains of the Berlin Wall. Plus, you will find the latest information about everything from entertainment and nightlife, to the best restaurants in Berlin. Fantastic photography, illustrations and floorplans bring to life sights such as the Pergamon Museum, and detailed street-by-street maps show you the unmissable areas to explore on foot. Quantum physics, which offers an explanation of the world on the smallest scale, has fundamental implications that pose a serious challenge to ordinary logic. Particularly counterintuitive is the notion of entanglement, which has been explored for the past 30 years and posits an ubiquitous randomness capable of manifesting itself simultaneously in more than one place. This amazing 'non-locality' is more than just an abstract curiosity or paradox: it has entirely down-to-earth applications in cryptography, serving for example to protect financial information; it also has enabled the demonstration of 'quantum teleportation', whose infinite possibilities even science-fiction writers can scarcely imagine. This delightful and concise exposition does not avoid the deep logical difficulties of quantum physics, but gives the reader the insights needed to appreciate them. From 'Bell's Theorem' to experiments in quantum entanglement, the reader will gain a solid understanding of one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary physics.
