The term "saga", which has entered common parlance, can cover a multitude of different realities. Let's not forget that sagas are typically Icelandic. They exist in their own right and are quite simply incomparable. To read them is to enter a world far removed from our own, and to discover a culture that truly deserves our attention.

The land of ice and fire: that's how we describe this country on the edge of Europe, long relegated to the unenviable position of an inhospitable land on the edge of the world. Over the past few years, Instagram has seen countless photographs of Iceland's natural wonders: its waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches and volcanoes, but also its uninhabited moorland, sometimes verdant, sometimes barren and desolate. Yet this romantic definition of a country where the opposing elements engage in an endless struggle to create an original nature cannot really capture what makes Iceland a true jewel of European culture. European, yes, because despite a certain proximity to the North American continent, this country has never ceased to be, through all its roots, a land of old Europe.
