Omschrijving

The Story of Burnt Njal is a classic Icelandic saga that follows the lives of several families in 10th century Iceland. The main character, Njal, is a wise and respected lawyer who tries to keep the peace between his friends and enemies. However, his efforts are often in vain as the families become embroiled in a bitter feud that ultimately leads to tragedy.The story is full of complex characters, intricate plot twists, and dramatic battles. It explores themes of honor, loyalty, revenge, and the consequences of violence. The book is written in a poetic and lyrical style that captures the beauty and harshness of life in medieval Iceland.George Webbe Dasent, a British folklorist and translator, translated the original Icelandic text into English in the 19th century. His translation is considered one of the most faithful and accurate versions of the saga, and it has been widely read and studied by scholars and enthusiasts of Norse literature.1911. While serving in the diplomatic service in Stockholm, Dasent fell under the spell of Norse literature, with Jacob Grimm urging on his interest.
