Njals Saga is rightly famous as one of the most heroic, and most poignant, of all the Icelandic narratives. Epic in scale, with battles, bloodfeuds and stormfilled voyages that stretch across the breadth of the Scandinavian World, the tale is spiced with strange apparitions, ghostly singing and prophetic dreams. The anonymous author brings to life a variety of compelling personalities the formidable Gunnar who excels in war yet detests violence, the scheming Flosi, Gudmund the Powerful, and Njal himself, gifted with second sight yet unable to save his family from a terrible doom.The Saga also treats of more homely matters, from family disputes and divided loyalties to farming and failed marriages, giving the modernday reader a broader, more nuanced perception of a people we too readily dismiss as axewielding, bloodthirsty barbarians.This Aziloth Books edition includes both an introduction to the tale by its translator Professor Sir George Dasent, and a map of Viking Iceland.
