NORSE MYTHOLOGY - NEIL GAIMAN (HÖRBUCH)

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by anient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of
his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source  presenting a bravura rendition of
the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology  Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the
major Norse pantheon: Odin  the highest of the high  wise  daring and cunning  Thor  Odin's son
incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods  and Loki son of a giant blood brother to Odin and
a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a
novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the
exploits of deities  dwarfs  and giants. Through Gaiman's deft and witty prose emerge these
gods with their fiercely competitive natures  their susceptibility to being duped and duping
others  and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions  making these long-ago myths
breathe pungent life again.
