Description
This is the first part of a new translation in three volumes of Heimskringla, the collection of sagas covering the history of Norway from its legendary beginnings up to 1177, which is one of the greatest literary achievements of medieval Iceland. The complexity of the verses has been reproduced through the preservation of alliteration and the literal rendition of kennings.
