On the edge of the known world, in a cluster of storm-beaten islands, two chieftains stake everything on honor, vengeance and power. The Saga of the Faroe Islanders tells how the cunning lord Thránd of Göta and the bold warrior Sigmund Brestisson waged a bitter feud for mastery of the Faroe Islands, from the first land-takings to the coming of the Christian faith. Written by an unknown medieval storyteller and preserved in the great Icelandic manuscript Flateyjarbók, this compact and vivid saga brings a vanished world to life — its sea crossings, blood-feuds, whispered councils and moments of strange mercy. This edition renders the story in clear, present-day English, faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original, with an introduction, glossary and notes that help the modern reader enter it with ease. The Saga of the Faroe Islanders is an unforgettable doorway into the Norse inheritance of the North Atlantic. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
