Odd and the Frost Giants

Autor Neil Gaiman
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 27 sep 2018

În acest scurt, dar inventiv roman inspirat de mitologia nordică, Neil Gaiman își conduce cititorii într-o călatorie magică și sălbatică pe pământurile uriașilor și pe tarâmurile zeilor. 
Într-un sat din vechea Norvegie locuiește un băiat pe nume Odd și e urmărit de un ghinion teribil: tatăl său s-a stins într-o expediție vikingă; un copac a căzut sfărâmându-i un picior și lasându-l pradă iernii nesfârșite care îi face pe locuitorii satului periculos de morocănoși.
Departe în pădure, Odd întâlnește un urs, o vulpe și un vultur - trei animale cu ciudate povești de spus.
Acum Odd este obligat să plece într-o misterioasă călătorie - o călătorie de salvare a Asgard-ului, orașul zeilor de către Uriașii Înghețați care l-au invadat.
E nevoie de un soi special de băiat de doisprezece ani pentru a readuce pacea în orașul zeilor și pentru a sfârși crunta iarnă. 
Cineva plin de viață, inteligent și furios. Cineva ca Odd.

Recenzii

A magical Nordic epic
One of the joys of reading Gaiman is how he subverts our expectations of magic, horror, fantasy and the mundane
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, rise to your feet and applaud: Coraline is the real thing
An extraordinary novel by a very gifted storyteller. It's utterly original, and written with elegance and power

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

In this inventive, short, yet perfectly formed novel inspired by traditional Norse mythology, Neil Gaiman takes readers on a wild and magical trip to the land of giants and gods and back.
In a village in ancient Norway lives a boy named Odd, and he's had some very bad luck: His father perished in a Viking expedition; a tree fell on and shattered his leg; the endless freezing winter is making villagers dangerously grumpy.
Out in the forest Odd encounters a bear, a fox, and an eagle—three creatures with a strange story to tell.
Now Odd is forced on a stranger journey than he had imagined—a journey to save Asgard, city of the gods, from the Frost Giants who have invaded it.
It's going to take a very special kind of twelve-year-old boy to outwit the Frost Giants, restore peace to the city of gods, and end the long winter.
Someone cheerful and infuriating and clever . . .
Someone just like Odd .
