paperback. No Jacket. First Edition. Edinburgh. 1975. Southside Publishers. 1st Edition. Previous Owner's Name in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0900025182. Translated from the Icelandic by Hermann Palsson. 139 pages. paperback. keywords: Europe Iceland Scandinavia Literature Translated Mythology History Sagas. DESCRIPTION - This third volume in the New Saga Library presents a slightly more sophisticated and cynical view of the world than the earlier volumes. The society depicted is rather more civilized, but now corruption is fought with corruption, and heroes succeed by trading rather than by killing. In THE CONFEDERATES the story is named after eight avaricious chieftains who form a league among themselves, for the sole purpose of lining their pockets by unethical, if not illegal, means. Their attempt is foiled by an impecunious old farmer, who, ironically, uses bribery to defeat corruption and secure his son's rights. One of the essential themes of HEN-THORIR is epitomized in the saying 'Evil comes of evil men'. A miserly landowner refuses to sell his spare hay to others in need, and his selfishness leads to a series of bloody events, including murder, arson, treachery and battle. Hermann Palsson is Reader in Icelandic at the University of Edinburgh and General Editor of the New Saga Library. inventory #35782 Previous Owner's Name in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
