Written around 1200 it looks back to what happened in the two preceding centuries. And believe me this is good reading. Snorri Sturluson lived 800 years ago, but he wrote like one of our contemporaries. His style is every bit comparable to that of Hemingway. He tells his stories in the simplest of words, just mentioning what happens. And like Hemingway he makes us see the drama, the passion and the violent feelings that the characters must have experienced. He is also very much aware of the landscapes where the dramas unfold, and anyone familiar with the Norwegian landscapes will immediately recognize the setting and its almost mythical dimensions. A brilliant story that I never grow tired of. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Beginning with the dim prehistory of the mythical gods and their descendants, Heimskringla recounts the history of the kings of Norway through the reign of Olaf Haraldsson, who became Norway's patron saint. Once found in most homes and schools and still regarded as a national treasure, Heimskringla influenced the thinking and literary style of Scandinavia over several centuries.

So far, the first bit, "The Saga of the Ynglings" consists of along series of basically crap kings who rule for about five minutes each. They all die in a ludicrous manner - one drowns in a vat of mead while wandering around (drunk) to look for a pace to take a pee, one gets lured into a cleft in a rock by a dwarf (while drunk) and is never seen again and others die by bull attack and nightmare.
