The book was published in 1971 under the editorship Þorsteinn frá Hamri (Thorsteinn from Hamar).Eyrbyggja saga is one of the Icelanders' sagas; its title can be translated as The Saga of the People of Eyri. In manuscript copies Eyrbyggja saga is called ‘Saga Þórsnesinga, Eyrbyggja ok Álftfirðinga’ (The Saga of the Dwellers of Thorsnes, Eyrr and Álftafjord), a title which signals the work’s close links with the peoples of Snæfellsnes It was written by an anonymous writer who describes a long standing feud between Snorri Goði and links with the peoples of Snæfellsnes. It was written by an anonymous writer, who describes a long-standing feud between Snorri Goði and Arnkel Goði, two strong chieftains within the Norse community that settled in Iceland. Though many-faceted, the saga is united from beginning to end by a single character — Snorri Þorgrímsson, referred to as Snorri Goði and Snorri the Priest, the greatest of the Snæfellsnes chieftains during his lifetime at the end of the tenth century and into the eleventh. Snorri features in many sagas and is everywhere described as wise, cunning and successful in all disputes. Another main interest of the Eyrbyggja Saga is to trace a few key families as they settled Iceland, specifically around the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The Saga is valued for many reasons, including its historical and folkloric elements. The saga is characterized by a distinct interest in old lore, rituals, pagan practices and superstitions. The saga includes several references to the colonization of Greenland and one reference to an expedition to Vinland. It also mentions a journey by Guðleifr Guðlaugsson and his crew to Great Ireland, which was said to exist beyond Vinland. In many scenes the saga’s narrative artistry is of the highest order, and readers familiar with the work regard it as among the finest of the Íslendingasögur.Language: Icelandic Dimensions: 140 × 210 × 20 mm / 5.5 × 8.7 × 0.8 in Weight: 400 g / 14 oz Pages: 179 Edition: The book is 1st edition by Helgafell.
