Amleth Prince Of Denmark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162652351)

""Amleth Prince of Denmark"" is a medieval Danish epic written by Saxo Grammaticus. The story follows the life of Prince Amleth, who seeks revenge for the murder of his father by his own uncle. The plot is filled with intrigue, deception, and political maneuvering as Amleth navigates his way through the treacherous Danish court. The story is also notable for its portrayal of the character of Amleth, who is depicted as a complex and introspective figure, struggling with his own emotions and desires as he seeks justice for his father. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into medieval Danish society and culture, and is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature or Scandinavian history.His discolored face and visage smutched with slime denoted foolish and grotesque madness. All he said was of a piece with these follies; all he did savored of utter lethargy. In a word, you would not have thought him a man at all, but some absurd abortion due to a mad fit of destiny.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
