You MUST read this if you have any interest in ancient Icelandic literature. This saga is one of the best and includes many trends in saga and Norse religion.Collectors Edition! Composed at the end of the fourteenth century by an unknown author, The Saga of Grettir the Strong is one of the last great Icelandic sagas. With a mesmerizing combination of pagan ideals and Christian faith, it relates the tale of Grettir, an eleventh-century warrior struggling to hold on to the values of a heroic age as they are eclipsed by Christianity and a more pastoral lifestyle.
