The
Sea of Trolls
Three time Newbery honor author Nancy Farmer's epic
fantasy, The Sea of Trolls, is gigantic in every way.
There are big Vikings and bigger trolls. There are big
themes--hope, despair, life and death. At a substantial 450+
pages, the sheer size of this hefty tome is impressive. But, like
all of Farmer's fine work, the large scale has room for enormous
quantities of heart and humor. At the center of this massive
adventure is...
Norse
Myths
Drawing on a wide variety of sources, the author
has re-created 32 classic Norse Myths that compete in
power with Greek mythology.
Norse
Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes, Rituals, and Beliefs
Norse Mythology explores the magical myths
and legends of Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Iceland and Viking-Age Greenland--outlining
along the way the prehistoric tales and beliefs from these regions
that have remained embedded in the imagination of the world. The
book begins with an Introduction that helps put Scandinavian
mythology in place in history, followed by a chapter that
explains the meaning of mythic time, and a third section that
presents in-depth explanations of each mythological term. These
fascinating entries identify particular deities and giants, as
well as the places where they dwell and the varied and wily means
by which they forge their existence and battle one another. We
meet Thor, one of the most powerful gods, who
specializes in killing giants using a hammer made for him by dwarfs,
not to mention myriad trolls, ogres, humans
and strange animals. We learn of the ongoing struggle between the
gods, who create the cosmos, and the jotnar, or giants,
who aim to destroy it. In the enchanted world where this mythology
takes place, we encounter turbulent rivers, majestic mountains,
dense forests, storms, fierce winters, eagles, ravens, salmon and
snakes in a landscape closely resembling Scandinavia.
Beings travel on ships and on horseback; they eat slaughtered meat
and drink mead. Spanning from the inception of the universe and
the birth of human beings to the universe's destruction and the mythic
future, these sparkling tales of creation and destruction, death
and rebirth, gods and heroes will entertain readers and offer
insight into the relationship between Scandinavian myth,
history, and culture.
Nordic
Gods and Heroes
Rich selection of age-old legends concerning the gods
and goddesses who dwell in Asgard, their problems
with the mischievous Loki, the exploits of Odin
and Thor, the story of Sigurd, the winning of
Brynhild, the twilight of the gods and more.
