An oral tradition spanning from prehistory to the present

Carl Borgen’s introduction presents the Bock Saga as a family-transmitted account of human history, attributed to Ior Bock as the keeper of an ancient oral tradition. Its scope stretches from “Paradiset,” the saga’s term for the beginning of prehistory, through to Ior Bock’s death in 2010. The source describes an expansive narrative covering many events across that long span, placing the book at the intersection of oral tradition, family history, and accounts of humanity’s past.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Scandinavian literary and cultural material.
  • Those curious about oral traditions and family-transmitted accounts of the past.
  • Readers seeking a broad, long-span narrative about humanity’s history.
