Do you know that the oldest skates are three thousand years old, and where have archeologists found them? The book talks about concepts and names: a Dallia fish freezing in the ice for the winter, the mythical people of Hyperborea, the Scandinavian myth of the end of the world, Ragnarok, the Japanese ritual of admiring the snow...
