Survival is uppermost in the minds of the medieval Norse, living on the edge of the world, in the ice and snow of Greenland in the early fifteenth century. Those who survive flee for other lands. Over six hundred years later global warming has resulted in Greenland being a more habitable place, attracting people from other lands. However, global warming brings with it new unforeseen challenges. After successfully living in Greenland for over four hundred years, the Norse, by the early fifteenth century had disappeared. Faced with an increasingly inhospitable climate, in the form of the little ice age, and cut off from the land of their ancestors, Norway, many perish from starvation and disease. However, some of these hardy descendants of the Vikings, escape to Iceland, Norway, and for the lucky few, North America. In the year 1414, some arrive on the shores of North America, to stay; over six hundred years later, in the year 2035, a descendant of these Norse emigrates from Canada to Greenland to seek a better life due to a disintegrating society in Canada because of global warming.It is 1421 in Greenland and Thorstein Edmundrsson, unwavering in his Christian faith and loyalty to his family, reflects on his life as he lies on the floor of the church, dying from starvation. He is the last surviving member of the Norse community of Brattahlid in Greenland, having foregone the opportunity, seven years previously, to join a group of fellow Norse who sailed to North America to escape the increasingly inhospitable climate in Greenland. In his dying hours Thorstein dreams of key periods in his life, and through these dreams we learn of the powerful family bonds, central to Thorstein's character, but which result in him making the ultimate sacrifice. We also learn about the life and demise of the Norse in Greenland.Over six hundred years later, in 2035, ambitious investment tycoon, Corrin Boyce, a descendant of one of the Norse who settled in North America in 1414, emigrates to Greenland. He does so to escape the increasingly challenging physical, societal, and economic conditions in a climate ravaged Canada. With global warming Greenland's climate, now in 2035, is benign. Greenland now offers the ambitious Corrin not only an escape from the social turmoil and depressed economic conditions in Canada, but new investment opportunities in Agriculture and Aquaculture. Also, a chance to reconnect with his distant past! However, in time Corrin is faced with a new set of environmental and personal challenges, which causes him to critically examine his own values.

His mind was a jumble of fragmented memories, leaving him with no understanding of his current location or how he had come to be there. Unbeknownst to him, this disorienting awakening heralded the commencement of an extraordinary odyssey, one that would forever alter not only his own destiny but also the lives of the people dwelling in the enigmatic land he had unknowingly discovered.

For a thousand years, this sacred barrier had held the forces of darkness at bay, guarding the realm against their insidious grip. Yet now, as the enchanted sands dwindled, the looming threat of evil's resurgence cast an ominous shadow over Thalondor's future.

Khosrow and Shirin is a love story by Nezami Ganjavi--considered the greatest medieval Persian romance poet--based on historical characters of the seventh-century Iranian court. Written 850 years ago, the narrative poem is presented here for the first time in a stunning modern-verse English translation by Dick Davis, the pre-eminent translator of Persian poetry.The love between an Iranian prince (Khosrow) and an Armenian princess (Shirin) is at the center of this tumultuous tale in which the exigencies of politics and warfare intertwine with no less powerful forces of erotic desire and the quest for personal and spiritual fulfilment. Nezami vividly dramatizes the clash between heroism and sensuality as they are pitted against the desire for the amenities of order and humane civilization. These marvelously presented discordant themes result in a complex love story based on conflicting concepts of love, one regarding the beloved as a prize to be conquered and possessed, the other unrequited and all-consuming, relishing the very notion of the annihilation of the self through love.Davis has captured the energy and poetry of Nezami's original in a delightful, contemporary idiom, and given us a story to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its luminous lyrical mastery. Davis's superb introduction and textual commentary provide insightful background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Davis's translation. Khosrow and Shirin will enchant both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new audience for Nezami's masterpiece.
