As soon as we obtain enough interest in this class we will be in touch to work out a meeting time that works for the group. Thank you for keeping your June 2026 availability up to date!
This class needs more pre-enrollment by May 1 to get confirmed.
This module is a standing candidate which means it will be ready to launch as soon as it gets enough interest. Token holders can set aside a Token to reserve their seat for class and help it get confirmed.
This book club will explore the Eybyggja saga, a magnificent Old Icelandic epic filled with feud, revenge, memorable characters and a lot of paranormal activity. For one month we'll be delving into its exquisite storytelling, examining everything from its cultural background to narrative themes. Meet Snorri the chieftain, Thorolf the revenant or Katla the witch in a story that'll remain with you long after you've read it!
If you enjoy this format, you'll get the chance to vote what saga we discuss next!
