In this episode, we introduce Gunnar Hamundarson and his wise friend Njal Thorgeirsson. We'll follow Gunnar on a few adventures before he settles down with the lovely, but dangerous Hallgerd Hoskuldsdottir. If you thought Hallgerd was harsh in Part 1 of our summer saga, just wait until you see what she's up to this time around. Will the friendship of Njal and Gunnar survive the escalating violence spurred on by their wives, or will they be consumed by it and destroyed? There's only one way to find out.
For anyone who's interested, we've put together a select bibliography for Njal's Saga. We have mentioned a few of these, but there's plenty more here for your perusal. Obviously, you'll need a good library to access most of these.
