{"product_id":"9780156033978","title":"Far Traveler, the","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive hundred years before Columbus, a Viking woman named Gudrid sailed off the edge of the known world. She landed in the New World and lived there for three years, giving birth to a baby before sailing home. Or so the Icelandic sagas say. Even after archaeologists found a Viking longhouse in Newfoundland, no one believed that the details of Gudrid's story were true. Then, in 2001, a team of scientists discovered what may have been this pioneering woman's last house, buried under a hay field in Iceland, just where the sagas suggested it could be.  Joining scientists experimenting with cutting-edge technology and the latest archaeological techniques, and tracing Gudrid's steps on land and in the sagas, Nancy Marie Brown reconstructs a life that spanned—and expanded—the bounds of the then-known world. She also sheds new light on the society that gave rise to a woman even more extraordinary than legend has painted her and illuminates the reasons for its collapse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254185930987,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":34.77,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780156033978-1.jpg?v=1781608269","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780156033978","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
