Snorri Sturluson

Bernard Scudder

Svanhildur Oskarsdottir

Egil’s Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egil Skallagrimsson: a morally ambiguous character who was at once the composer of intricately beautiful poetry, and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality. The saga recounts Egil’s progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his father’s exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his battles against Scotland. Exploring issues as diverse as the question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil’s Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.

Heimskringla, Or The Lives of the Norse Kings

Magnus Magnusson

This compelling Icelandic history describes the life of King Harald Hardradi, from his battles across Europe and Russia to his final assault on England in 1066, less than three weeks before the invasion of William the Conqueror. It was a battle that led to his death and marked the end of an era in which Europe had been dominated by the threat of Scandinavian forces. Despite England’s triumph, it also played a crucial part in fatally weakening the English army immediately prior to the Norman Conquest, changing the course of history. Taken from the Heimskringla – Snorri Sturluson’s complete account of Norway from prehistoric times to 1177 – this is a brilliantly human depiction of the turbulent life and savage death of the last great Norse warrior-king.

Escrito por Snorri Sturluson, um historiador, poeta e político islandês que viveu de 1178 a 1241, o Edda em Prosa é uma das mais ricas fontes para o conhecimento da mitologia nórdica contando desde o início do universo até o inevitável momento do Ragnarök. São detalhados minuciosamente os vários deuses, seus filhos e seus extraordinários feitos, passando pela incrível linguagem poética dos escaldos e suas inúmeras sagas. Nessa edição foram acrescentadas mais de cem ilustrações e pinturas que destacam os vários momentos da mitologia nórdica, mostrando como há séculos essas histórias são contadas e estão presentes no imaginário popular. Foram incluídas não só pinturas a óleo já famosas, mas também ilustrações de diferentes versões do Edda em Prosa de séculos anteriores e figuras mais desconhecidas retiradas de livros dos séculos XVIII, XIX e XX para mostrar a diversidade de autores que já trataram dessa tão fantástica mitologia. A atual obra contém as seguinte partes da Edda em Prosa: Prólogo, Gylfaginning (A Ilusão de Gylfi) e Skáldskaparmál (Poesia dos Escaldos).

The Essence of Viking Mythology: Norse Eddas, Sagas & Ballads

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Sagas are stories mostly about ancient Nordic and Germanic history, early Viking voyages, the battles that took place during the voyages and migration to Iceland and of feuds between Icelandic families. They were written in the Old Norse language, mainly in Iceland. Kings' sagas are of the lives of Scandinavian kings. They were composed in the 12th to 14th centuries. The Icelanders' sagas, a.k.a. Family Sagas, are stories of real events, passed in oral form till they eventually were recorded, mostly in the 13th century. These are the highest form of the classical Icelandic saga writing. Legendary Sagas blend remote history with myth or legend. The aim is on a lively narrative and entertainment.Contents:Kings' SagasYnglinga SagaHalfdan the Black SagaHarald Harfager's SagaHakon the Good's SagaSaga of King Harald Grafeld and of Earl Hakon Son of SigurdKing Olaf Trygvason's SagaSaga of Olaf Haraldson (St. Olaf)Saga of Magnus the GoodSaga of Harald HardradeSaga of Olaf KyrreMagnus Barefoot's SagaSaga of Sigurd the Crusader and His Brothers Eystein and OlafSaga of Magnus the Blind and of Harald GilleSaga of Sigurd, Inge, and Eystein, the Sons of HaraldSaga of Hakon HerdebreidMagnus Erlingson's SagaSagas of IcelandersEgil's Saga (The Story of Egil Skallagrimsson)Laxdæla Saga The Saga of Hrafnkell, Frey's Priest The Story of the Confederates (Bandamanna saga) The Saga of Gisli the Outlaw The Saga of Gunnlaug the Worm-Tongue and Raven the SkaldSaga of the GreenlandersErik the Red's SagaGrettir's Saga (The Story of Grettir the Strong)Njal's Saga (The story of Burnt Njal)The Saga of Cormac the SkaldThe Saga of Howard the HaltThe Saga of the Ere-DwellersThe Saga of Thrond of GateThe Saga of Viga-GlumThe Saga of Viglund the FairThe Saga of Hen-Thorir Legendary SagasVolsunga SagaFrithiof's Saga
