from Venice to Greenland on the trail of the Zen brothers
Di Robilant, Andrea
2011
Investigates the Zen family's claims about their explorations in the North Atlantic, considers the narrative by their 1558 statesman ancestor, the nineteenth-century charge of misrepresenting their achievements, and the author's own attempt to follow their route.
Follows the path of the Vikings on their voyages of discovery, and introduces children descended from settlers on the Faeroe Islands, Gotland, Iceland, and the Aland Islands, all bound by the common threads of language, culture, and history.
