The Younger Edda
19.99 €
The great work of the medieval Icelandic writer Snorri Sturluson, "The Younger Edda", which has become the only one of its kind in the treasury of world literature. No other work has so fully reflected the mythology, which not only all Scandinavian peoples, but also all peoples speaking Germanic languages, consider their most valuable cultural, historical and artistic heritage. The present translation gives a prologue, which tells of the creation of the world, a part "The Vision of Gulvi", which describes the creation and destruction of the world of the Scandinavian gods and sets forth other stories from Scandinavian mythology, and a part "The Language of Poetry", which deals with the general principles of skaldic poetry with mythological explanations.
The book is recommended for historians, literary scholars, philologists, and a wide range of readers interested in ancient Scandinavian poetry and mythology.
