The Prose Edda
Autor Jesse Byocken Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2005
Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age,The Prose Eddatells ancient stories of the Norse creation epic and recounts the battles that follow as gods, giants, dwarves and elves struggle for survival. In prose interspersed with powerful verse, theEddashows the gods' tragic realization that the future holds one final cataclysmic battle, Ragnarok, when the world will be destroyed. These tales have proved to be among the most influential of all myths and legends, inspiring works such as Wagner's Ring Cycle and Tolkien'sThe Lord of the Rings.
