Presentation Transcript

    1. Njála – The Saga of Burnt Njal Njala was composed around 1280, dealing with events from 930 – 1020 AD. It is the longest, the most sophisticated, and perhaps the finest example of saga art – considered by some to be the national epic of Iceland. Over 600 characters, from the sublime and tragic, to the sinister or simply comic. Author is unknown, but most evidence points to a single composer who united several oral and written sources to compose his own work of art.
