8 VIKING SAGAS + HAVAMAL plus free eBook - The Saga of Eirik the Red by Various Pdf

These Sagas were from a time when men were knighted for achieving great feats, and great their feats were. Often dismissed by the King’s court and shunned by their peers, they went a-viking with a small band of loyal followers, or sometimes alone, to seek their fortune and fame in a way that only a Viking would know how. On their return home they were, more often than not, proclaimed as heroes to be honoured by their kings and given their rightful places in the court and the nation. The sagas in this series are: ISBN TITLE’s 9781907256455 The Saga of Viga Glum 9781907256462 The Saga of Gisli the Outlaw 9781907256486 The Life and death of Cormak the Skald - A Romantic Norse Saga 9781907256516 THE SAGA OF BEOWULF - rewritten for children & young adults 9781907256530 THE SAGA OF BURNT NJAL 9781907256578 THE SAGA of GRETTIR THE STRONG 9781907256646 Fridthjof's Saga or Friedhof's Saga 9781909302631 Havamal 9781909302136 THE SAGA OF GUNNLAUG THE WORM-TONGUE AND RAVEN THE SKALD 9781907256738 The Saga of Eirik the Red - FREE EBOOK

The Saga of Erik the Red (Eiríks Saga Rauða) by Matthew Leigh Embleton Pdf

The Saga of Erik the Red (Eiríks Saga Rauða) is one of the two Icelandic Sagas which make up the Vínland Sagas (Vínlandingasögur) which tell the story of the Norse discovery of North America. The story includes the events leading up to Erik the Red being banished from Iceland and discovering Greenland. Following the accidental discovery of lands further west of Greenland, there are a number of expeditions to explore and settle these lands. These stories survived by oral tradition over several centuries before being written down in the 13th century. They are preserved in the Hauksbók, and the Skálholtsbók. This book is designed to be of use to anyone studying or with a keen interest in Old Norse or Old Icelandic, clearly showing how these languages work, and the influence of these languages on English. Both Old Norse and Old Icelandic versions are included. This edition is laid out in three columns, the original text, a literal word-for-word translation, and a modern translation. Also included is a word list with over 1,000 definitions. Also available in this series: The Saga of the Greenlanders (Groenlendinga Saga), The Vínland Sagas (Vínlandingasögur).

Icelanders in the Viking Age by William R. Short Pdf

The Sagas of Icelanders are enduring stories from Viking-age Iceland filled with love and romance, battles and feuds, tragedy and comedy. Yet these tales are little read today, even by lovers of literature. The culture and history of the people depicted in the Sagas are often unfamiliar to the modern reader, though the audience for whom the tales were intended would have had an intimate understanding of the material. This text introduces the modern reader to the daily lives and material culture of the Vikings. Topics covered include religion, housing, social customs, the settlement of disputes, and the early history of Iceland. Issues of dispute among scholars, such as the nature of settlement and the division of land, are addressed in the text.

The Viking Age by Angus A. Somerville,R. Andrew McDonald Pdf

In this extensively revised third edition of The Viking Age: A Reader, Somerville and McDonald successfully bring the Vikings and their world to life for twenty-first-century students and instructors. The diversity of the Viking era is revealed through the remarkable range and variety of sources presented as well as the geographical and chronological coverage of the readings. The third edition has been reorganized into fifteen chapters. Many sources have been added, including material on gender and warrior women, and a completely new final chapter traces the continuing cultural influence of the Vikings to the present day. The use of visual material has been expanded, and updated maps illustrate historical developments throughout the Viking Age. The English translations of Norse texts, many of them new to this collection, are straightforward and easily accessible, while chapter introductions contextualize the readings.
