Description
“Burning ice, corrosive flame; thus life was born.” This extraordinary cycle of Scandinavian myths is one of the most enduring, dramatic, captivating, and exciting stories in world history. The book of Norse myths presents these tales in an engaging way for the modern reader. It takes us to the moments of the very creation of the world, we witness the raising of the walls of Asgard, and we see the end of the universe on the day of Ragnarok. We will learn how Thor obtained his hammer, how Odin lost his eye, the terrible price the gods paid for binding the wolf Fenrir, and why it was never wise to trust the trickster Loki. Norse myths are not just a fascinating narrative; they also carry immense cultural and historical weight. Kevin Crossley-Holland brings to life in this intriguing book the passion, cruelty, and heroism of these unforgettable stories.
