Much of what we know of Old Norse mythology is drawn from the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Icelandic chieftain/scholar Snorri Sturluson. This book presents both children and adults with a delightful ntroduction to Norse myth, its cosmology and its imagery of the cycles of nature, as interpreted by modern readers of the Edda. Florence Helga Thibault’s charming illustrations bring the stories of the gods to life, while Anna Kristín Ásbjörnsdóttir has retold the tales with children in mind – though without oversimplifying the language.

The Icelandic nation has a long and rich history of storytelling. Throughout centuries characterized by hardship, poverty and dark winters, the Icelanders kept their spirits high and moral values intact by telling each other stories. In this collection of 15 Icelandic folk legends, we get a glimpse of the world-view of the Icelanders in centuries past as they endeavored to understand and cope with the natural phenomena around them. There are stories of malicious ghosts, outlaws living in carved-out boulders, hidden people residing in grassy knolls, trolls that are tripped up by their own stupidity, and much more. In addition, there is one story exemplifying a fairy tale motif that scholars have discovered to be unique to Iceland: that of the good stepmother (The Story of Himinbjörg). Throughout we get a powerful sense of the Icelanders' beliefs, values and fears, as well as their strong need to cling to all that was pure and good.

Ragnarok: The downfall of the Norse gods

Производитель: Nyhofn

Цена: 4652.00 руб.

Описание:
The story of Ragnarok is based on Iceland´s most important contribution to Western literature: Völuspá (The Prophesy of The Sorceress) from the Poetic Edda. The poem is over 1000 years old but is preserved. The story of Ragnarok is accompanied with commentaries and explanations. The mesmerising illustrations breathe life into the story; rich with authentic symbols, they remind one of an enigmatic grimoire, and draw the reader’s eyes to them over and over again.

Icelandic is one of the oldest and most complex languages in the world. In this book, Alda Sigmundsdóttir looks at the Icelandic language with wit and humour, and how it reflects the heart and soul of the Icelandic people and their culture. Many of the Icelanders' idioms and proverbs, their meaning and origins, are discussed, as is the Icelanders' love for their language and their attempts to keep it pure through the ongoing construction of new words and terminology. There is a section on Icelandic curse words as well as Icelandic slang, which is mostly derived from English. Throughout, this book deconstructs Icelandic vocabulary, and the often-hilarious, almost naive, ways in which words are made. This is a must-read book for anyone interested in the Icelandic people, their culture - and of course their language.
