The Faroe Islands are an archipelago between Scotland and Iceland, currently a self-governing member of the Kingdom of Denmark with a population of about fifity-five thousand, with about a quarter of that living in its capital and largest city, Torshavn, on the island of Streymoy; its language, Faroese, is closely related to Icelandic. The national saga of the Faroese is the the thirteenth-century Faereyinga Saga, which tells of the intense conflicts that arose over the coming of Christianity to the islands, arising from previously existing faultlines in the population. And this work, the Faroe-Islander Saga, is the next fortnightly book. I am using the 2016 translation by Robert K. Painter.
