Soon after 960 Gisli, the central figure, was outlawed for killing his brother-in-law, and then, for thirteen years or more, he lived in hiding in remote parts of the northwest of Iceland until he was finally caught and killed by his enemies. Around this historical core the author has spun a web of conflicting passions - love, hate and jealousy between man and wife, brother and sister, brother-in-law - intricate emotional bonds which are here seen ironically patterned against a background of inevitable fate. Gisli, the hero, is portrayed not only as a man of strength and courage but also as a poet and dreamer, tormented in his outlawry by nightmarish visions which seem gradually to sap his will to resist. The author's probing into the emotional depths of his characters the superbly effective architecture of his narrative leading to the central climax, his sense of the dramatic, and his cool, compelling style, all combine to make this one of the most memorable of all the Icelandic sagas.
