Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "The Axe" is the powerful opening volume of Sigrid Undset's epic medieval tetralogy, "The Master of Hestviken". Set in 13th-century Norway, a period of transition between the old Viking codes and the rising influence of Christianity, the novel follows the life of Olav AudunssA, n. Betrothed as a child to Ingunn Steinfinnsdatter, Olav finds his destiny inextricably tied to hers, yet their path to union is fraught with exile, violence, and profound moral conflict.After years spent in Sweden, Olav returns to his homeland to claim his bride and his inheritance at Hestviken, only to be confronted by a devastating secret that leads to a fatal moment of passion and the eponymous act of violence. Undset, a Nobel Prize laureate, meticulously reconstructs the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, exploring themes of honor, guilt, and the spiritual burden of sin. Through the character of Olav, "The Axe" examines the struggle of an individual caught between personal desire and the rigid expectations of family and faith.
