{"product_id":"grettirs-saga","title":"Grettir's Saga","description":"\u003cp\u003e'You will be made an outlaw, forced always to live in the wilds and to live alone.'  A sweeping epic of the Viking Age, Grettir's Saga follows the life of the outlaw Grettir the Strong as he battles against sorcery, bad luck, and the vengefulness of his enemies.  Feared by many, Grettir is a warrior and also a poet and a lover, who is afraid of the dark.  Unable to resolve the dispute that has outlawed him, he lives\n\u003cbr\u003eoutside the bounds of family life and he roams the countryside, ridding Iceland and Norway of berserker warriors, trolls, and the walking dead.  The saga presents a poignant story of medieval Icelandic society, combining details\n\u003cbr\u003eof everyday legal disputes with folklore and legend.  Written in the fourteenth century, but based on earlier oral and written sources, Grettir's Saga, with its scathing humour, explicit verses, and fantastic monsters, is among the most famous and widely read of Iceland's sagas.  This new translation features extensive illustrative material to elucidate the story.
