- the farming the feasting & the charcoal-burning
- but also for the social structure of the society in which that life took place
- the Althing or Parliament the lawmaking & the lawgiving The grandeur of the narrative & the beauty & distinction of the characters mark Njal's Saga as an essential text for all who love adventure & great literature
