Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Egil's Saga' is one of the most celebrated and complex of the Icelandic sagas, chronicling the life and times of the legendary Viking warrior-poet Egil SkallagrÃ-msson. Spanning the 9th and 10th centuries, this sweeping narrative follows Egil and his family as they navigate the shifting political landscapes of Norway and Iceland, often clashing with the ruthless King Harald Fairhair. The work serves as both a historical record of the settlement of Iceland and a profound character study of a man who is simultaneously a brutal raider and a sensitive, gifted skald.
