Description

In the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, far enough away from mainland Europe to have consistent outside influence from it early on, rests Iceland. By the year 900 the small island country is flourishing with poetry; by 1120 its prose writing has surpassed the amount of British literature. Icelandic Sagas preserves the oral history of this fascinating country.
