Torfin Karlsefni està documentat a la Grœnlendinga saga, una de les dues principals fonts literàries que parlen de l'exploració norse al nord d'Amèrica. Els navegants van anomenar la zona com a Vinland, terra de la vinya. I d'allí van tornar cap a casa seva, Groenlàndia, amb vaixells carregats de blat i raïm. Karlsefni és només un dels protagonistes d'un llibre que va fer les delícies d'una generació que avui ja depassa els setanta anys d'edat, i que el va poder comprar per sis pessetes. Aquesta generació va precedir la que, en parlar de víkings, tenim com a referència infantil la sèrie de dibuixos animats de 1973 Vickie el vikingo, que estrenà RTVE del 1974 al 1975.

Però tornem al llibre, es tracta de Los vikingos, d'Alfonso Nadal, editat per la veterana editorial barcelonina Molino, i del qual se'n van fer diverses edicions. El llibre, amb una potent coberta dibuixada per Alejandro Coll (la foto que il·lustra aquesta entrada n'és un detall), incorpora a l'interior dibuixos a ploma i aquarel·les datats el 1942. L'autor d'aquest llibre juvenil s'endinsa en llocs comuns víkings, però de manera que incorporava un ampli ventall: Anècdotes, aventures, història i si... també tòpics. Alfonso Nadal com els víkings s'ho feien per albirar la costa gràcies a un corb, de l'incendi i saqueig de Nantes, de caceres de balenes, entre molts altres suggerents temes que la tradició ha associat al món víking.

En tenim més de referents, la famosa tira de Dik Browne Olaf el víking n'és un, que el 2010 es publicava diàriament en 1900 diaris del món. Però podem parlar d'un món víking? Els víkings tenien cosnciència de
ser-ho? Quina era la seva religió original? Quan van abraçar el
cristianisme? I això del poble norse... com ho lliguem amb els víkings? I
parlant de víkings... Vickie el víking o l'Olaf el Terrible duen banyes
al casc... el dibuixant Alejandro Coll no sempre les dibuixa... però
realment en duien de banyes al casc?
