Description
Egil's Saga is a gripping tale of a complex and deeply human character, Egil Skallagrimsson, who defies easy categorisation. A warrior, a poet, and a farmer, Egil's life is marked by both brutal violence and beautiful verse. This revised edition of the saga explores the intricacies of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the complexities of human relationships, as Egil navigates his quest for justice, honour, and survival.
