Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Egil's Saga' is one of the most celebrated and complex of the Icelandic sagas, chronicling the life and times of the legendary Viking warrior-poet Egil SkallagrÃ-msson. Spanning the 9th and 10th centuries, this sweeping narrative follows Egil and his family as they navigate the shifting po…litical landscapes of Norway and Iceland, often clashing with the ruthless King Harald Fairhair. The work serves as both a historical record of the settlement of Iceland and a profound character study of a man who is simultaneously a brutal raider and a sensitive, gifted skald.Through its vivid prose and intricate skaldic verse, 'Egil's Saga' explores themes of honor, inheritance, and the struggle for individual freedom against royal tyranny. The narrative is rich with detailed accounts of Viking voyages, bloody battles, and legal disputes, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of the medieval North. This translation by E. R. Eddison captures the epic scale and emotional depth of the original text, ensuring that the legacy of one of Scandinavia's greatest heroes remains accessible to modern readers. Whether viewed as a work of historical record or a masterpiece of early European literature, 'Egil's Saga' remains a cornerstone of the Norse literary canon.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Worm Ouroboros is considered to be one of the foundational texts of the high fantasy genre, influencing later authors like J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Ursula K. Leguin, and James Branch Cabell. It is most frequently compared to The Lord of the Rings in its epic scope set against a med…ieval, magic-laced backdrop-a world called "Middle Earth" by Eddison, thirty-two years before Tolkien's-and in its almost mythical portrayal of larger-than-life heroes and villains.The plot begins simply enough: The Lords of Demonland, a group of heroic warriors enjoying a strained peace, are called upon by an emissary of the warlock king of Witchland, Gorice XI. The emissary demands that Demonland submit to the King of Witchland-but the proud Demons refuse, setting off an epic war that spans their entire world. The heroic struggles of the Demons and their allies against the Witches reflect the circular nature of human history: the snake eating its own tail of the title.The novel is written in a purposefully archaic, almost Jacobean style. The rich, surprising vocabulary and unusual spelling are testaments to Eddison's expertise at reading and translating medieval-era texts. To this day, it remains perhaps unique in fantasy literature in the accuracy and precision of its highly affected prose style, perhaps matched only by the out-of-time strangeness of the prose in Hodgson's The Night Land. But where critics often find The Night Land's prose obtuse and difficult, they have nothing but praise for Eddison's beautiful, quotable style.Eddison had already imagined the story and its heroes as a child, and drawings he made as a youth of events in the book are preserved in the Bodleian library. While the novel is without a doubt the work of a mature and skilled writer, and while some of the events and characters are portrayed differently in the novel than they were in his youthful sketches, the names of many of the characters and places remain unchanged. Some of his contemporaries, like Tolkien, wondered about the strange naming style; others criticized it as taking away from the more serious subject matter.The Worm Ouroboros remains one of the most influential works in the high fantasy genre to this day, and traces of the foundation it laid can be still be found in genre books a century after its publication.
