À propos de cet audio

Based on events that took place between 960 and 1020 AD, Njál 's Saga is a mesmerizing drama about a multigenerational cycle of violence and retribution, and the feuds and passions that perpetuate it.

The eponymous sage Njál, known for his keen legal mind, is one of Iceland's pre-eminent men, along with Gunnar of Hlidarendi, a fierce and formidable warrior married to the diabolical Hallgerd, whose conniving instigates the interminable pattern of romance, action and brutality - until one unforgivable act ends it all.

Njál 's Saga is considered the greatest of the Icelandic sagas and is notable for its historical value, as it provides glimpses of a society transitioning away from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages, and establishing the social and legal mores of its present.

This was an amazing listen. The authentic Icelandic pronunciation of the Old Norse names and locations was unexpected and much appreciated.

Everything else is in a variety of British dialects (depending on the speaker), but to hear the Icelandic pronunciation was fantastic.

I hope Gunnar Cauthery gets the chance to read more sagas! He does an awesome job!

Awesome!
