The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki - Jesse L. Byock - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki - Jesse L. Byock - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Composed in medieval Iceland, Hrolf''s Saga is one of the greatest of all mythic-legendary sagas, relating half-fantastical events that were said to have occurred in fifth-century Denmark. It tells of the exploits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the ''bear-warrior'': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and ''berserker'' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic. A work of timeless power and beauty, it offers both a treasury of Icelandic prose and a masterful gathering of epic, cultic memory, traditional folk tale and myths from the Viking age and far earlier.
