| Opplysninger | Med forord av Kjell Inge Røkke. - Erik "The Viking" Breivik is a fisherman's son who was born in the outermost fjord mouth on the Norwegian coast, but who ended up a millionaire fisherman in a big city on the west coast of America. The Breivik family's eldest son becoming a professional fisherman didn't come as a surprise to anyone. A few years after Erik left school aged 15, he was known as the best skipper in the Norwegian trawler fleet. But at the end of the 1970s, Erik realised that the golden age of Norwegian trawling was over. This prompted the entrepreneur to take his family and fishing expertise to Seattle and invest everything he had into fishing in one of the world's roughest sea. It was there Erik Breivik built a billion-dollar inustry, thus laying the foundation for modern trawling in Alaska. In this book, we accompany him on his journey from a poor fishing village in Norway to life as a millionaire in a skyscraper inn the USA. Omtale fra omslaget.
