Story Of Frithiof (1872)

The Story of Frithiof is a classic Swedish epic poem written by Esaias Tegner in 1825. The poem tells the story of Frithiof, a Viking warrior who falls in love with Ingeborg, the daughter of King Bele. However, Frithiof's love is forbidden because he is not of noble birth. Despite this, Frithiof and Ingeborg secretly marry, but their happiness is short-lived when King Bele dies and his sons, Helge and Halfdan, become rulers of the kingdom. Frithiof is banished from the kingdom and sets out on a journey of adventure and self-discovery. Along the way, he battles sea monsters, rescues damsels in distress, and grows in strength and wisdom. Eventually, Frithiof returns to his homeland and confronts Helge and Halfdan in a final battle. The Story of Frithiof is a tale of love, honor, and bravery set in the Viking age. Tegner's poetic language and vivid imagery bring the world of the Vikings to life, making this epic poem a timeless classic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
