The tragic story of the outlaw Gisli Sursson, whose profound
sense of honor forces him into violent action.
Whereas most Icelanders who receive the penalty of outlawry flee the
land and seek their fortune abroad, Gisli refuses to leave his wife, Aud,
behind to fend for herself. Unfailingly
devoted to his wife, Gisli slips through the fingers of the bounty hunters Bork
the Stout, Eyolf, and Helgi the Spy time and time again. Join us as we review one of Icelandic
literature's most endearing and heroic characters as we call Gisli's Saga to
the Thing.
