İskandinav Mitolojisi

Neil Gaiman has always been an author inspired by ancient mythologies when creating fantastic lands in his works. Now he turns his attention to the source of these lands and tells epic northern tales in his own unique style.

In Norse Mythology, the author stays true to the myths while imagining the important Scandinavian gods: Odin, the Most High, wise, daring and cunning. Thor, Odin's son, cannot be said to be the wisest of the gods despite his tremendous power. And Loki is Odin's blood brother, a playful trickster whom no one can stand against.

Gaiman handles these ancient stories just like a novelist; The stories start from the creation of the legendary nine realms and continue with the adventures of gods, dwarves and giants. Many myths, from how Thor's hammer was stolen to the source of the mead that gives poetic inspiration to those who drink it, come to life again with Gaiman's witty sentences. Ultimately, everything comes to a head in the twilight of the gods: in Ragnarök…

“Gaiman's words, as simple and flowing as water, manage to reflect the dramatic power of medieval texts. Her style of telling stories is suitable for everyone from seven to seventy, and this is both an appropriate and smart move.”

– Ursula K. Le Guin -

“ In Norse Mythology, Gaiman described the ancient myths so vividly that I thought my bedroom would turn into Valhalla while reading it. It treats the entire Norse pantheon, including dwarves, giants and creatures, like a movie or a novel. Honestly, I'm only this long away from ordering a breastplate for myself. As Gaiman said in his introduction, these stories tell the journey from the fire and ice that created the world to the fire and ice that ends the world.”
