Summary "The Sworn Brothers: A Tale of the Early Days of Iceland" by Gunnar Gunnarsson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in ancient Iceland and revolves around the lives of Orn, a warrior, and his son Ingolf, alongside their kinsman Leif. The narrative explores themes of honor, familial loyalty, and the struggles faced during a tumultuous period, as the characters navigate their relationships with one another and the looming threats in their world. The opening of the tale sets a dark and contemplative atmosphere as it introduces the hall where Orn, the patriarch, sits in silence, surrounded by his men and the omnipresent deities represented in the wooden pillars of the high-seat. It describes the tension felt among the characters as they sense impending trouble in the land. Ingolf, a young boy with a strong sense of duty, grapples with his responsibilities and the honor of his family lineage, while he also shares a close bond with Leif, who expels a carefree yet reckless spirit. As the opening progresses, it establishes a backdrop of familial strife and the challenges of growing up in a world fraught with dangers and expectations, setting the stage for their adventures and misadventures to unfold.
