SAGAS OF MYTH AND LEGEND

The Icelandic Sagas are some of the medieval world’s most exciting stories. Products of Iceland’s kingless experiment, these 13th and 14th-century narratives fall somewhere between novel and epic, fusing history and legend with both bloody battles and social dramas, told through the eyes of Iceland’s greatest settlers. Designed for students, our Dual-Language Icelandic Saga Series includes the original Old Norse with English translation, as well as vocabulary, grammar, maps and notes.
