Kings, Vikings, and Icelandic Sagas: Great Literature of the Northern World

Our maverick English Teacher looks northward to find a core library of 18 essential texts of Medieval Icelandic literature . These stories and sagas are the first great examples of European prose writing, and are the source material of Wagner's Ring, Tolkien's Middle Earth, and Martin's Game Of Thrones. The texts are all in excellent English translations that are both readable and faithful to the originals. Also included are two terrific critical introductions for background and context. Surprisingly modern, these works are both fascinating and entertaining.
