Jensen i 1908 udsendte Bræen, var han sig ikke bevidst, at han her lagde grunden til en saga om den europæiske, eller rettere nordiske, del af menneskehedens historie fra urtid til renæssance.

I 1938 redigerede Aage Marcus i samråd med Jensen de 6 romaner sammen til et sammenhængende værk. Mere end noget andet var det denne sprogligt virtuose saga, der i 1944 indbragte Jensen Nobelprisen.
