The Master of Hestviken: The Axe (Volume I) Graham Greene then the philosophy of StBy Sigrid Undset Translated by Arthur G. Chater The Master of Hestviken tetralogy, set in thirteenth century Norway, is the story of Olav Audunsson, a man whose life is a chronicle of conflict: between the brutal facts of the fading pagan order and the ascendant light of Christianity, between violence and peace, fidelity and betrayal, transgression and redemption. The Axe follows Olav from his childhood days with the family of Steinfinn Toresson.
