"Snorri Sturluson speaks - as almost no other historian ever has spoken - with the authority of a man whose masterful skills would have made him one of the formidable, foremost in any of the events he records. So he saturates even remotley past happenings with a gripping first-hand quality ... Hollander's translation is very good, fresh on every page . . Where ever you open the book. The life grips you and you read on" Ted Hughes, New York Review of Books
