Pálsson (translator)
The adventures of Egil Skallagrimsson, one of
the most intriguing heroes of the Viking sagas;
a poet, a relentless dueller, and a cunning lawyer,
he has both admirable and unadmirable traits. Written
about 1230, the tale offers both an attention-holding
narrative and a panoramic view of the Norse world
from the middle of the 9th century to the end of the
10th, while never losing sight of its central character.
