The story of Burnt Njal: From the Icelandic of the Njals Saga by Dasent

"The story of Burnt Njal: From the Icelandic of the Njals Saga by Dasent" is a thirteenth-century Icelandic saga describing events between 960 and 1020. The narrative follows a devastating blood feud in the Icelandic Commonwealth, showing how minor insults spiral into prolonged violence driven by honor's demands. At its center are two friends: Njáll, a wise lawyer, and Gunnar, a formidable warrior. When Gunnar's wife instigates conflict, the consequences span decadesand lead to the infamous burning death of Njáll himself. Through omens and prophetic dreams, the saga explores vengeance, masculinity, and societal destruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
