It can justly be listed among the finest pieces of short fiction in world literature. Terse in the best saga style, it spins a story of complex competitive social action, revealing the cool wit and finely-calibrated reticence of its three main characters: Audun, Harald Hardradi, and King Svein. The tale should have much to engage legal and cultural historians, anthropologists, economists, philosophers, and students of literature. The story’s treatment of gift-exchange is worthy of the fine anthropological and historical writing on gift-exchange; its treatment of face-to-face interaction a match for Erving Goffman.Medieval law and its practice ;v. 1.Law, ScandinavianSourcesSagasElectronic books.Law, ScandinavianSagas.839/.63Miller William Ian1946-222661MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455330103321Audun and the polar bear2188518UNINA03258nam 2200601Ia 450 991082360080332120200520144314.01-282-68481-797866126848141-4443-1446-71-4443-1447-5(CKB)2670000000018914(EBL)530035(OCoLC)630541119(SSID)ssj0000417090(PQKBManifestationID)11289013(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000417090(PQKBWorkID)10436770(PQKB)10724724(MiAaPQ)EBC530035(Au-PeEL)EBL530035(CaPaEBR)ebr10383610(CaONFJC)MIL268481(EXLCZ)99267000000001891420090501d2010 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrEssential guide to blood coagulation /edited by Jovan P.
