Reading King Harald's Saga | Alexandria
Read King Harald's Saga by Snorri Sturluson. Watching a medieval king's spectacular downfall unfold through betrayal, ambition, and hubris in King Harald's Saga reveals how power corrupts across centuries. Despite portraying Viking-era Norway, Sturluson's masterwork reads like a political thriller, complete with backroom deals and fatal miscalculations. Most surprisingly, it shows how even legendary rulers can fall victim to overconfidence.
