The Sagas of Icelanders collects a dozen of the most outstanding Sagas, including the celebrated "Vinland Sagas," which contain the oldest descriptions of the North American continent. Much more than rousing adventure narratives, though, the Sagas introduce modern readers to a now-vanished world separated from ours by a thousand years--a richly imagined and psychologically complex world, comparable in realistic effect with the novelistic genius of Austen or Dickens.

The publication of these volumes is a reminder that the Icelandic Sagas can hold their own with the literature of the Mediterranean." ---Seamus Heaney, Nobel Laureate, 1995

The Icelandic Sagas remain one of the great marvels of world literature, a great human achievement."--Ted Hughes]]> 1997 4 1 false Sun Jun 28 13:23:32 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 13:55:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 53352469 1500153 102534 0141000031 9780141000039 37 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102534.The_Sagas_of_Icelanders 4.32 225
