NORSE MYTHOLOGY - NEIL GAIMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

Neil Gaiman  long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his
fiction  presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin
though their upheaval in Ragnarok. 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
these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures  their susceptibility to being duped
and to duping others  and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions  making these
long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
