In "Norse Mythology", Neil Gaiman retells the Norse stories about the forming of the world, the creation of Yggdrasil and the Nine Worlds, how Odin lost his eye, how the gods got their treasures, Loki's children, Thor's journey to the land of the giants, the death of Balder, Ragnarok, and more. At the end of the book I am unsatisfied - I expected more, I am lost. It follows the familiar pattern from origin myths to Ragnarok.

I loved myths and legends as a child, especially the Norse ones, and hadn't read a collection of Norse stories for many years. I hope his artwork will approach this amazing classical, ancient world that is actually the source of our civilisation to younger generations who avoid "fat, old, boring books" and in best case read short versions on network. The book is clearly written, well-organized, respectful of the original material, and effective at the important part of myth-telling, which is telling the stories of how things come to be. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales.In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki--son of a giant--blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. I don't doubt that I'll revisit the book soon in order to consolidate my understanding.Does this book contain inappropriate content?Do you believe that this item violates a copyright?Does this book contain quality or formatting issues?After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.© 1996-2020, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
