Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This is the first part of a new translation in three volumes of Heimskringla, the collection of sagas covering the history of Norway from its legendary beginnings up to 1177, which is one of the greatest literary achievements of medieval Iceland. The complexity of the verses has been reproduced through the preservation of alliteration and the literal rendition of kennings.

Notă biografică

Snorri Sturluson was, without compare, the greatest historian of the Middle Ages. His translator, the late Lee M. Hollander, was a noted authority in the field of Old Norse literature.

Recenzii

[Snorri Sturluson] speaks—as almost no other historian ever has spoken—with the authority of a man whose masterful skills would have made him one of the formidable, foremost in any of the events he records. So he saturates even remotely past happenings with a gripping first-hand quality...Hollander's translation is very good, fresh on every page ...Wherever you open the book, the life grips you and you read on....

Among the many contibutions to world literature that ancient Iceland has given us, Heimskringla stands out as one of the truly monumental works. Among medieval European histories in the vernacular it has no equal.
