La saga di Egil racconta la storia della lunga e brutale vita del poeta-guerriero e contadino del X secolo Egil Skallagrimsson: un personaggio moralmente ambiguo che era allo stesso tempo compositore di poesie intricatamente belle e un grottesco fisico capace di una brutalità sbalorditiva. La saga racconta la progressione di Egil dalla ferocia giovanile alla saggezza matura mentre lotta per vendicare l'esilio del padre dalla Norvegia, difendere il suo onore contro il re norvegese Erik Bloodaxe e combattere per il re inglese Athelstan nelle sue battaglie contro la Scozia. Esplorando questioni diverse come la questione della lealtà, il potere della poesia e la relazione tra due fratelli che amano la stessa donna, la saga di Egil è un'affascinante rappresentazione di un personaggio profondamente umano.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 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.
