ABOUT THIS BOOK: Step into the brutal, law-bound world of the Viking Age, where familial loyalty is forged in iron, outlaws roam the volcanic wastes, and history is carved into unforgettable prose. The Icelandic Sagas (Volumes I & II) is a definitive, two-volume landmark collection published by The Folio Society. Edited and translated by the legendary Norse scholar Magnus Magnusson, this massive compilation brings together 22 of the finest surviving medieval family chronicles. Departing from the realm of gods and dragons, these texts capture real-world human history, documenting the fierce independence, legal chess matches, and bloody generational feuds of Iceland’s pioneering settlers. Spanning over 1,500 total pages, this complete set delivers an unparalleled masterclass in medieval storytelling: • The Masterpieces: Follow the sprawling legal warfare of Njal's Saga, the legendary raiding of Egil's Saga, and the historic exploration of North America in Eirik the Red's Saga. • Dynamic Artwork: Features striking, atmospheric illustrations by acclaimed artists Simon Noyes (Vol. 1) and John Vernon Lord (Vol. 2). • Immersive Maps: Detailed regional endpapers drawn by Reg Piggott allow you to track every duel, exile, and voyage across the jagged Icelandic fjords. Beautifully crafted, this matching collection is quarter-bound in premium navy leather with gilt-titled spines and bespoke Viking-inspired cloth boards. Equal parts raw historical document and sweeping literature, this slipcased set is an indispensable cornerstone for any collector of historic prose and fine books.…
