Heimskringla Lacking,
By Marty Graybill (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heimskringla Or, the Chronicle of the Kings of Norway, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Hardcover)
I am very disappointed with these hardbound books, the best part is the Hardbound binding. I have a ...Dover Publications softbound copy which far excells over these ... copies. This Heimskringla is bare bones only, no flesh, no historical notes at all. I give the Dover softbound a 10 rating, these Hardbound Volumes only a 1. Anyone wanting a great Heimskringla book buy the ...Dover edition, you'll learn much more from it, full of historical notes, Old Norse translations, reading it makes you feel as if you're transported back in time. This Heimskringla is for collecting only, I will keep them, but use the Dover Pub. Edition.I do NOT advise purchasing these Hard Bound...books, they do not do Snorri Sturlason justice nor the History of the Norse Kings !! But...the binding is sort of nice but really plain. I have much nicer Volumes of the Sagas with hand bound covers for over 1/2 the price. Save your Money buy the Dover softbound edition |
