The giant and the stone boat

The Giant and the Stone Boat; Folk Tales from Iceland Thomas Frederik Crain Publication date: 01/01/2010 Publisher: Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Center for Arabic Language, Kalima Project for Translation Publisher's note: This series gathers the heritage of peoples through tales, legends, and folk myths, and the stories are distributed across 72 books, selected from works by prominent anthropologists at the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century, during the peak of anthropology when many scholars explored, recorded, and documented the heritage of peoples before it was lost. These books include tales from European, Asian, American, African countries, and others. The series aims to build bridges of communication between the peoples of the earth and their civilizations, and to enhance the deep cultural connection among different races, nationalities, and cultures, bringing them together under one roof — the roof of culture, knowledge, and the word that unites and does not divide. It emphasizes that what humanity has called "globalization" for over two decades has actually been realized for hundreds, even thousands, of years.
