Egil's Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egil Skallagrimsson: a morally ambiguous character who was at once the composer of intricately beautiful poetry, and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality. The saga recounts Egil's progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his father's exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his battles against Scotland. Exploring issues as diverse as the question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil's Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.

反抗王权的家族史诗。从托罗尔夫到斯卡拉格里姆再到艾吉尔，这一家族与挪威王族持续百年的斗争堪称传奇，也树立了冰岛“自由岛”的美名。

维京海盗的道德观不堪评价，但结尾真的还写出了点英雄末路的感觉，而且洒金子那块觉得来到世上好歹大闹了一场

看到評論道德化的評論就好想笑。把自由貼在這些上也真的很現代了。
