{"product_id":"egils-saga-anonymous-9781161429534","title":"Egil's Saga","description":"Egil's Saga is a medieval Icelandic saga that tells the story of the life of Egil Skallagr������msson, a legendary Viking warrior and poet. The saga begins with the story of Egil's grandfather and continues through Egil's own life, including his battles and travels throughout Scandinavia and England. Along the way, Egil encounters various historical figures and engages in many adventures, both violent and poetic. The saga also includes themes of family loyalty, revenge, and the struggle between paganism and Christianity in medieval Iceland. The author of Egil's Saga is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the 13th century, making it one of the oldest surviving Icelandic sagas.Egil went in the night and sought the places where boats were. But wheresoever he came to the strand, men were always there before him. He went thus through the whole night, and found never a boat. But when day dawned, he was standing on a certain ness. He saw then another island, and between him and it lay a very wide sound. This was then his counsel: he took helmet, sword, and spear, breaking off the spear-shaft and casting it out into the sea; but the weapons he wrapped round in his cloak and made thereof a bundle which he bound on his back.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
