Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination. Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Vikings $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tenth century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Middle Ages $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Meyer, Michael Leverson, $e translator. 700 1 $a Page, Michael $q (Michael J.), $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 800 1 $a Bengtsson, Frans G.. $t Rode Orm. $s Spoken word ; 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12006290 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/rcb_9781681688961_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180403014328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB98E29E370411E887D7D95B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
