Norse Mythology

Neil Gaiman

Ancient mythology has long been a source of inspiration for Neil Gaiman when creating the fantastical worlds that populate his stories. Now he returns to the source material, delivering a stunning performance of the great northern tales. Odin, the highest of the gods and the wisest of them all, is represented by Gaiman in Norse Mythology as the wisest and most cunning of the gods; Thor, Odin's son, is depicted as the strongest and most cunning of the gods; and Loki, the trickster and greatest manipulator in Norse Mythology, is depicted by Gaiman. When Gaiman first started writing these stories, they were just short stories, but now they've been turned into a full-fledged novel. The first time that Thor's hammer was stolen, he had to put on a woman's disguise to steal it back. The story of Kvasir, the most sagacious of gods, whose blood is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetic inspiration is more poignant. Ragnarok, the end of the gods and the beginning of a new era, marks the culmination of the project. It is through Neil Gaiman's deft and witty prose that these ancient gods come to life once again with their fierce competitive natures, their vulnerability to deception (their own as well as others'), and their propensity to let passion ignite their actions."
