The Viking Sagas x264 HDTV

✎ Quote by docuwiki.net

hundreds of years ago in faraway iceland the vikings began to write down dozens of
stories called sagas - sweeping narratives based on real people and real events. but as oxford university's
janina ramirez discovers, these sagas are not just great works of art, they are also priceless historical
documents which bring to life the viking world. dr ramirez travels across glaciers and through the lava
fields of iceland to the far north west of the country to find out about one of the most compelling of these
stories - the laxdaela saga.
