About the Book

English summary: Although the historic sagas are more well-known, medieval Scandinavians also produced a rich tradition of legendary sagas that recreated their ancient past. These fornaldarsogur are examined in this book, shedding light on this para-religious universe, on its gods, myths, and beliefs from the time before the Vikings. French description: Les sagas islandaises (XIIIe et XIVe siecles) ne forment pas un tout homogene. Les classiques, qui sont les mieux divulguees en France maintenant, ont des pretentions historiques. Mais il existe d'autres categories qui n'affichent pas la meme ambition. Notamment les sagas dites legendaires (fornaldarsogur), qui entendent ressusciter des temps tres anciens. Deux d'entre elles, parmi les plus connues, ont deja ete presentees dans la collection Verite des mythes. Le propos du present livre est d'etudier ce genre, sa genese, ses caracteristiques principales. Les sagas legendaires aiment ressusciter ou livrer tout un univers para-religieux scandinave ancien, ou les mythes, les dieux, les croyances et les survivances se cotoient et viennent eclairer d'un jour tout a fait inattendu les grands textes religieux de l'Edda poetique. On decouvre donc, en parcourant tous ces textes impeccablement rediges dans le celebre style de sagas, un univers tres peu familier qui, certes, atteste de la prodigieuse culture des auteurs au courant de tout ce qui se faisait ou disait dans le monde connu de leur epoque et qu'ils parcouraient inlassablement - ce sont des descendants immediats de Vikings! Le lecteur s'apercevra sans peine que nous sommes ici aux sources du conte ou de la legende. Mais une question se posera a lui: quelle est la verite de ces mythes ainsi affrontes a toutes les influences imaginables? La reponse n'est pas acquise, mais les voies d'investigation qui sont proposees ici aideront certainement l'amateur a progresser dans la fascinante connaissance des grands motifs ou des images prestigieuses qui ont fait notre culture. Et du coup, la grande civilisation scandinave ancienne, absurdement reputee barbare chez nous, recouvrera ses droits a notre estime.
