Book Description
The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu) is a story of love, rivalry, betrayal, and tragedy set against a backdrop of the changing times of the late Viking age, when poets from Iceland were renowned for their poetic skills and enjoyed special status among the courts of kings and earls throughout the Norse world. Poems praising these kings and earls in verse were received as gifts, in a culture where gift giving was a well established and important means of settling disputes, showing respect, and gaining favour and honour. This book contains the original texts both Old Norse and Icelandic versions with parallel literal word-for-word translations. This second edition includes an expanded word list with over 6,300 definitions. Literal translations show you how the language works, literally, word by word.

Book Description
The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Gunnlaugs Saga Ormstungu) is the story of a promising young man named Gunnlaug who achieves fame for his bravery and poetry in the courts of kings and earls throughout the Norse world. However, a prophetic dream foretells a love rivalry, betrayal, and tragedy. The rich tradition of Icelandic literature survived by oral tradition over several centuries before being written down in the 13th Century. Old Norse is a North Germanic language spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia from about the 7th to the 15th centuries. Old Icelandic is a variety of Old West Norse that emerged during the Norse settlement of Iceland in the second half of the 9th century. The meaning of the word 'saga' (plural: 'sǫgur' or 'sögur') translates as 'that which is said', or more widely: a 'saying', 'statement', 'story', 'tale', or 'narrative'. This book contains: - The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Old Norse Version) - The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Old Icelandic Version) The texts are presented in their original Norse, with a literal word-for-word line-by-line translation, and a Modern English translation, all side-by-side. In this way, it is possible to see and feel how the Norse language worked and how it has evolved. Also included is a word list with 3,019 Norse words translated in to English, and 1,846 English words translated into Norse. This book is designed to be of use and interest to anyone with a passion for the Old Norse or Old Icelandic language, Norse history, or languages and history in general.
