Bachman Brings Old Icelandic Tales to Life,
By Douglas G. Trotter (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forty Old Icelandic Tales (Paperback)
Bryant Bachman has brought to life some of the most fascinating tales in literature. Originally written in Old Icelandic, these stories contain bold dynamic characters and dark existentialist themes that resonate for the modern reader as strongly today as when they were written. Bachman's book is probably the best in this field. While exactingly precise, his translations still manage to capture all of the excitement, humor, and poignancy of these stories.

Unique Reading... Special Author,
By
This review is from: Forty Old Icelandic Tales (Hardcover)
I had the utmost privilege of studying under Dr. Bryant Bachman. He is an amazing spirit that wrote on my soul. These are unique stories; if you enjoy myth and fantasy, then you will love them. I never did take the Icelandic class where the students studied the language as well as the texts, and that is something that I will always regret. If you are thinking of picking up this book, then don't hesitate. A piece of Dr. Bachman is in those books, and that is enough reason to have them on your shelf!
