Sinopse

The Story of Frithiof the Bold is a captivating narrative steeped in Norse mythology and folklore, artfully blending elements of adventure and romance. Written in the 19th century by an anonymous author, this narrative poem is notable for its lyrical style and vivid imagery. It tells the tale of the heroic Frithiof, a Viking prince whose love for the beautiful Ingeborg is thwarted by the demands of honor and fate. The work echoes the rich oral traditions of Scandinavian sagas while contributing a romantic sensibility that reflects the growing Nordic nationalism of its time, making it an essential piece in understanding the intersection of literature and cultural identity in the era of Romanticism. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to the text, as it allows the story to stand independently of individual authorship, representing a collective cultural heritage. Influenced by earlier Norse epics and the burgeoning interest in national folklore, the author aimed to revive these heroic tales for a contemporary audience, tapping into the era's fascination with the past and romantic ideals. This enchanting tale is recommended for those who appreciate classic literature and the deeper themes of love, duty, and heroism woven into the fabric of Norse mythology. Readers will find themselves drawn into Frithiof's struggles and triumphs, making it a must-read for enthusiasts of folklore and epic poetry.

In the shadow of Galway's cliffs, Liam has carved out a life training Connemara ponies while working on his landlord's estate and loving his wife Máire.

Together, they journey onward to the California gold rushes, chasing fortune and the hope of return. Meanwhile, Máire faces her own battle to keep their son alive in a land where hope itself has withered. From the green hills of Connemara to shores unknown, this is the story of love tested by impossible odds and the fierce determination of the Irish heart.

    A chance tip from his local bar gets Silas a job as Santa on a cruise ship that happens to be docking in Florida, where Joey lives with his husband and kids. Ellen heads to a cafe across the street and spots a bulletin board ad selling tickets for a cruise. Her riotous friend Julia volunteers as travel companion. 
    The MS Viking just happens to be carrying 3000 gay men in the mood to party. What could go wrong? 
    Silas soon finds himself involved with some unsavoury business and meets a potential new love in the form of Ellen.
