Reader Reviews:
The grande saga from Snorre Sturlasson (8/11 people found this helpful)
Heimskringla is probably one of the more famous works of Snorre Sturlason, but it's probably best read in it's original language. Unfortunatly, and luckely for me, this privelege to tread it in it's original language is prohibited the people of scandinavia. But Heimskringla is a magnifisent piece of work, and should be read by everyone interested in norse mythology. The lyric, the spirit and the "feeling" is extraordninary.
