  • "Fasciné par les sagas islandaises, qu'il a lues et après un voyage en Islande, H. R. Haggard écrit tout en restant fidèle à l'esprit du genre (guerriers, exploits, vengeance, etc.). Il réinvente la passion amoureuse et le genre héroïque."

  • "An important innovator in the action-adventure genre, H. Rider Haggard didn't rest on his laurels after creating an immensely popular series based around gentleman explorer Allan Quatermain. Instead, Haggard continued to push the genre forward--sometimes by harking to the ancient past. In the novel Eric Brighteyes, Haggard borrows heavily from Norse mythology, setting a classic action-adventure tale in the land now known as Iceland."@en
  • "In tenth-century Iceland, a Viking hero strives to win the hand of Gudruda the Fair. Duels, a terrific battle at sea, and fatherly objections are paltry obstacles next to Eric's real foe: Gudruda's sorceress half-sister Swanhild who desires Eric for herself. Haggard is at his peak in this 1891swashbuckler, which J. R. R. Tolkien praised."
