About this product

Product Information

A unique body of medieval literature, the Sagas rank with the world's greatest literary treasures--as epic as Homer, as deep in tragedy as Sophocles, as engagingly human as Shakespeare. Set around the turn of the last millennium, these stories depict with an astonishingly modern realism the lives and deeds of the Norse men and women who first settled Iceland and of their descendants, who ventured further west--to Greenland and, ultimately, the coast of North America itself. The ten Sagas and seven shorter tales in this volume include the celebrated "Vinland Sagas," which recount Leif Eiriksson's pioneering voyage to the New World and contain the oldest descriptions of the North American continent. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    The Sagas of the Icelanders

    Compelling stories, vividly told, brings a little known world to life . vastly influential . "not of our time" behavior of the characters . lust, greed, jealously, ambition, pride, cruelty, revenge, honor, betrayal, violence, heroism, sacrifice, loyalty, and on and on . . The compilation is not a novel . . you are not going to sit down one evening and polish this volume off like a modern thriller . it will take months . For reading, I recommend a good chair, a fire in the fireplace, a bottle of brandy, a blanket across the knees, and of course your sword, shield and helmet, all your fighting gear, an arm's reach away . . beware the knock on the door . it may be the call to battle . the final call . .
