Norse Mythology

Popis produktu

Neil Gaiman's bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world to life. Burstingoff the page with breathtaking, full-color art are tales of fierce battleswith giants, storied quests for knowledge, and the gods in Asgard: Odin, thehighest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incrediblystrong, yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki-son of a giant-blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaimanfashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that takes us from thegenesis of the legendary nine worlds to Ragnorak, the twilight of the gods andthe rebirth of a new time. Through his epic storytelling and Pinfold's enthralling images, 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, breathing vivid life into these long-agomyths.
