The Saga of Grettir the Strong is a classic Icelandic saga that tells the story of Grettir �����smundarson, a legendary hero and outlaw who lived in Iceland during the 11th century. The book, written by G. H. Hight, is a translation of the original Icelandic text and follows Grettir's life from his childhood to his death. Grettir is known for his incredible strength and bravery, but he is also a troubled and complex character. He is exiled from his home at a young age and spends much of his life wandering Iceland, facing challenges and enemies along the way. Despite his many successes, Grettir is haunted by a curse that brings him bad luck and eventually leads to his downfall. The Saga of Grettir the Strong is a fascinating look at Icelandic society and culture during the Viking Age. It is full of adventure, action, and drama, and provides a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived during this time. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Icelandic history or Norse mythology.Grettir went out with his companions to visit them. On their meeting Grettir found Bjorn amongst the company and said: It is well that we meet here, for now we can continue our former quarrel. I should like to try which of us is the better man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
