Njl’s Saga Audiobook (Free)

Predicated on events that occurred between 960 and 1020 AD, Njál’s Saga is normally a mesmerising drama about a multigenerational cycle of violence and retribution, as well as the feuds and passions that perpetuate it. The eponymous sage Njál, known for his willing legal mind, is normally among Iceland’s pre-eminent males, along with Gunnar of Hlidarendi, a fierce and formidable warrior wedded towards the diabolical Hallgerd, whose conniving instigates the interminable design of romance, action and brutality – until one unforgivable action ends it all. Njál’s Saga is definitely the greatest from the Icelandic sagas and it is notable because of its historic value, since 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.
