""I want the book always to lie open so that people can read about those who came from where I come from, from Bryne and Jren.""
""I've been lucky enough to live out my dream through football, and I know not everyone gets that chance. Books give so many more people the chance to dream big, see new possibilities and find their own path.""
Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker and Norway's all-time top scorer, donated a rare 16th-century manuscript of Viking sagas to Bryne, his hometown. The manuscript, a 1594 edition of Snorri Sturluson's work, was purchased for 1.3 million Norwegian crowns. Haaland aims to inspire locals by making the manuscript accessible to the public, emphasizing the importance of books in dreaming big and exploring new possibilities. He is currently the top scorer in the Premier League and has also excelled in international competitions.
