Zeno (Michael Zeno) 1867 1939 Diemer, Michael Zeno Grettir the Outlaw: A Story of Iceland Produced by Al Haines "Grettir the Outlaw: A Story of Iceland" by S. Baring-Gould is a historical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the tale of Grettir, a strong and complex character from Icelandic lore, whose life is marked by a struggle against fate, personal demons, and societal norms as he navigates through various trials, including outlawry, familial disputes, and dramatic encounters. The opening of the story sets the scene for Grettir's birth and early years, illustrating the stark yet beautiful Icelandic landscape that greatly influences his life. It begins with a nostalgic preface by the author recounting his own journey of learning and translating the saga, followed by rich descriptions of Grettir's childhood at the farm of Biarg. The narrative introduces Grettir as a boy who is troubled and rough around the edges, struggling with both a difficult temperament and a desire to find his purpose amidst the tales of his ancestors that captivate him during the long, dark winters. The groundwork is laid for his transformation into a legendary figure, as the opening chapters focus on his youth, his tumultuous relationships with his family, and the beginnings of his infamous reputation.
