Summary:	Based on oral tales that originated in historical events in tenth-century Iceland, these two sagas follow the fate of a powerful Viking family across two generations, from its early Norwegian ancestry through fierce battles to defend its honour. "Gisli Sursson's Saga" is a story of forbidden love and divided loyalties, in which the heroic Gisli vows to avenge the murder of his 'sworn brother' and sets in motion a chain of bloody events that culminate in tragedy. "The Saga of the People of Eyri" continues the story with Snorri, a cunning leader of the next generation, who uses his intellect to restore social order ... these tales reveal the richness of the saga tradition and present a ... record of a society moving from ruthless individualism to a Christian ethic of reconciliation and order. These clear, contemporary translations are accompanied by an introduction giving the historical and literary background to the sagas. [It] also includes appendices on social and political structures and early Icelandic literature, notes.-Back cover  Read more...
