The cover shows a seventeenth-century illustration de…picting Egil Skallagrimsson, from a manuscript of the Saga in teh Arnamagnaean Institute, Copenhagen. keywords: Europe Scandinavia Iceland Saga Translated Mythology History Folklore World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Probably written about 1230 by Snorri Sturluson, EGIL'S SAGA offers a panoramic view of the Viking world from the middle of the ninth century to the end of the tenth. However, wide-ranging though it is in time and place, the Saga is dominated throughout by the demonic presence of its hero, Egil Skallagrimsson, and the influence of his god, the many-faced Odin - shape-changer and rune-master. Of enormous physical strength and with something of the troll in his nature Egil is, by turns, killer, drunkard, miser, poet, wanderer, farmer, lawyer and sorcerer. Merciless and vengeful, he is also capable of great loyalty and great delicacy of feeling. He is, without doubt, one of the most extraordinary and intriguing characters to be found in the literature of medieval Iceland. inventory #37340.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; lightly age tanned; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Written around 1200 by an unknown author, the Orkneyinga Saga is an intriguing fusion of myth, legend and history. The only medieval work to have Orkney as the central place of action, it t…ells of an era when the islands were still part of the Viking world, beginning with their conquest by the kings of Norway in the 9th century. Savagely powerful and poetic, this is a fascinating depiction of an age of brutal battles, murder, sorcery and bitter family feuds. Pálsson and Edwards's translation captures the force and eloquence of the original verse. Their introduction lucidly describes the history of the Orkneys and the origins of the saga.
