Still one of the most read sagas today, the Hrafnkell's Saga is a masterpiece, a spotless pearl among the family sagas (F. Jónsson) and one of the most completely developed short novels in world literature (S. Nordal). Its compelling, logical plot and its concise length are particularly popular with readers, making it an excellent choice for those unfamiliar with the sagas. The 'Hrafnkell's Saga' has been used as an introductory text for Old Norse students and as a compulsory text in Icelandic high schools. This edition comes with: a short introduction to the Sagas of Icelanders by Jon Andreas Gunnarsson; an introduction to Hrafnkell's Saga by Petter Danielssen; the original 1882 English translation by John Coles; English summaries of all 20 chapters by Sean Nigel Tyler.
