Norse Mythology
Autor Neil Gaimanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 feb 2017
Marile povești nordice sunt discutate în mod critic, dar și literar prin crearea unei povești care începe cu cele nouă lumi legendare, explorarea zeităților, dwarfi și giganți și culmină cu Ragnarok, amurgul zeilor și renașterea unui nou timp și a unor noi oameni.
Gaiman ramâne fidel mitologiei reîncarnându-i pe Odin, cel mai mare dintre zei, înțelept și viclean, Thor, fiul său, incredibil de puternic, dar nu la fel de înțelept și Loki, fiul giganților, un trișor și un iscusit manipulator.
Sub pana lui Gaiman zeii apar în fața cititorilor cu caracteristicile lor competititve, cu tendința de a lăsa pasiunea să le dicteze acțiunile facând ca aceste mituri străvechi să prindă din nou viață.

Recenzii
It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story . The halls of Valhalla have been crying out for Gaiman to tell their stories to a new audience. Hopefully this collection will be just the beginning
Brilliant . Somehow he brings us close to this world of mountains and cataracts, monsters and elves
There have been countless retellings of the Norse myths, but few that give them the everyday immediacy of Neil Gaiman's wry, punchy phrasing and delivery. You feel that bumbling Thor, wise Odin, fabulous Freya and the wily Loki are part of him
Gaiman retells the Norse sagas in his own lucid, laid-back style, teasing out the humour and absurdity inherent in the source material . An honest retelling that betrays an abiding personal passion for the exploits of dim-witted Thor, mercurial Loki, bombastic Odin and the rest
Beautifully told and a lot of fun
A bold undertaking . An excellent introduction to the stories that wield such great cultural significance
Gaiman's voice is engaging; often quirkily humorous . The author's affection for the characters shines out from every page, and the narrative, always crisp and direct, combines an adult's insight with a childlike sense of wonder at the magic of it all
Gaiman's characteristically limpid, quick-running prose keeps the dramatic impetus of the medieval texts . His telling of the tales is for children and adults alike, and this is both right and wise, it being the property of genuine myth on many levels
It's the perfect moment to become acquainted with Gaiman's eerie, fantastical writing. In his latest book, he recasts the Nordic sagas as gripping human dramas, putting flesh and blood on the slippery Loki, the hard-charging Odin and others
His work draws you in and eats you up with new worlds and ideas
