Episode 5a - Gisli's Saga

from Saga Thing Hosted by Saga Thing

The tragic story of the outlaw Gisli Sursson, whose profound sense of honor forces him into violent action. Whereas most Icelanders who receive the penalty of outlawry flee the land and seek their fortune abroad, Gisli refuses to leave his wife, Aud, behind to fend for herself. Unfailingly devoted to his wife, Gisli slips through the fingers of the bounty hunters Bork the Stout, Eyolf, and Helgi the Spy time and time again. Join us as we review one of Icelandic literature's most endearing and heroic characters as we call Gisli's Saga to the Thing.
