Laxdla Saga by Anonymous

Laxdla Saga by Anonymous

The Laxdaela Saga is an interconnected group of stories and myths which originate from Iceland in the Early Middle Ages. Bringing together a collection of ancient Nordic myths and legends, this book tells the story of Gu r n sv frsd ttir, Kjartan lafsson and Bolli orleiksson. The three are involved in a love triangle: although Bolli and Kjartan are childhood friends with a long history of helping one another, they come to blows over their shared love of Gu r n. Unusually feminine in tone and subject matter, historians of Icelandic lore venture that the Laxdaela Saga was authored by a woman. For a time, the story was passed on through the oral tradition: the first records upon paper date to the mid-13th century, some 300 years since the saga is originally thought to have arisen within the culture of Iceland.
