Penguin Books. 1st Penguin Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780140447750. Translated from the Icelandic by Keneva Kunz. 223 pages. paperback. Cover - Detail from Oseberg wood carving depicting woman appearing to restrain one man from striking another. Norwegian, 9th century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Gudrun is headstrong, proud and the most beautiful woman in Iceland. The tragic story of how she comes to betray and destroy the only man she has ever truly loved lies at the heart of this forceful family saga, which traces the passions and blood feuds of three generations of strong women, wise leaders and hotheaded warriors. Written around 1245 but telling of earlier centuries, when magic rites and sorcery clashed with the spread of Christianity throughout a rapidly changing Viking world, this tale of revenge slayings and sacrifice, desire and regret, is one of the best-loved works of Icelandic literature. The accompanying sequel tells of Bolli Bollason, Gudrun's adored son, and his fortune-seeking exploits. Keneva Kunz's authoritative translation is accompanied by an introduction by Bergljot S. Kristjandottir, which unravels the fascinating structure of the saga, considers the religious values underpinning the story and examines the intriguing narrative -voice of the tale's unknown author. This edition also contains notes and a chronology, graphical representations of the story, maps, an index of characters and suggestions for further reading. inventory #36674 ISBN: 9780140447750., 0<

A masterpiece of medieval literature, the story focuses on two families — that of Hoskuld, a prominent farmer with several sons, and that of Gudrun, the most beautiful woman ever born in Iceland.
