Hrafnkel's Saga and Other Icelandic Stories - - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hrafnkel's Saga and Other Icelandic Stories - - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Written around the thirteenth century AD by Icelandic monks, the seven tales collected here offer a combination of pagan elements tightly woven into the pattern of Christian ethics. They take as their subjects figures who are heroic, but do not fit into the mould of traditional heroes. Some stories concern characters in Iceland - among them Hrafknel''s Saga, in which a poor man''s son is murdered by his powerful neighbour, and Thorstein the Staff-Struck, which describes an ageing warrior''s struggle to settle into a peaceful rural community. Others focus on the adventures of Icelanders abroad, including the compelling Audun''s Story, which depicts a farmhand''s pilgrimage to Rome. These fascinating tales deal with powerful human emotions, suffering and dignity at a time of profound transition, when traditional ideals were gradually yielding to a more peaceful pastoral lifestyle.

Good-bye to All That - Robert Graves - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Good-bye to All That - Robert Graves - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"There was no patriotism in the trenches. It was too remote a sentiment, and rejected as fit only for civilians. A new arrival who talked patriotism would soon be told to cut it out. As Blighty, Great Britain was a quiet, easy place to get back to out of the present foreign misery, but as a nation it was nothing." This is the original version of Robert Graves''s intense memoir of the First World War, restoring this raw, emotionally truthful, darkly comic work to the way it was first written, by a young man still reeling from the trenches. ''We see the dark heart of the book even more clearly, and hear it beating even more loudly, in this original edition than we do in the comparatively careful and considered terms of the later one'' Andrew Motion ''One of the most candid self-portraits, warts and all, ever painted'' TLS
