      About This Book

      The Story of Burnt Njáll or Njáls Saga is a work from 13th Century Iceland that holds an important place in Nordic culture, literature, and heritage. It is the epic saga of friends Njáll Þorgeirsson, a lawyer and a sage, and Gunnar Hámundarson, a formidable warrior. In the course of a feud, Gunnar is exiled and must leave Iceland but as he rides away from his home he is struck by the beauty of the land and resolves to stay. He and Njál join forces against the evil Mord Valgardsson and fall into a brutal cycle of killing and vengeance in the freezing plains of Iceland.

      The Story of Burnt Njáll boasts an array of complex characters, dreams, strange prophecies, violent power struggles and fragile peace agreements. It is the deeply moving story of a fifty-year blood feud that, despite its distance from us in time and place, is driven by passions familiar to us all.
