Gísla saga Súrssonar is one of the Icelanders' sagas, written in the early 13th century.

Gísli Súrsson and his family come to Iceland from Norway in about AD 950. Shortly after 960 Gísli is outlawed for killing his brother-in-law, and then, for at least thirteen years, Gísli hides in remote north Iceland. He is finally caught and his enemies kill him. Surrounding this story, conflicting passions of love, hate, and complex emotional bonds are portrayed, as Gísli approaches his fate. Gísli has courage and strength, but is a poet and dreamer as well.
