I listened to this book in audio format, and it went down remarkably smoothly, especially considering that I had relatively low interest in the subject. (I've always been more of a Greek mythology kind of girl.) Gaiman's retellings have a great deal of humor and wit, and I appreciated his narration of the audiobook as the perfect interpretation of his writing style (and a helpful guide to pronunciation, as well). The stories flow perfectly together, from the beginning of the world to Ragnarok. I found as I listened that I have absorbed bits and pieces of the mythology from popular culture, but this helped me set the individual pieces within a framework. Recommended. ( ) Interesting - a hug departure from Gaiman's normal writing style and plot, and probably not something for all of his fans. But very well told all the same. These are re-tellings of the Norse myths, of Odin, Thor and the rest, the Anglo-saxon equivalent of the greek legends, with morals and meanings that are not lost on modern life. It's an area of history that has apparently always fascinated Gaiman, and he provides copious notes on the research he's read. But in the end these, are his versions of the tales, no more authoritarian sources than that. They read very clearly. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

De nordiske myter er blevet en del af en større historiefortælling - fra Tolkien, Alan Garner og Rosemary Sutcliff til "Game of thrones" og "Marvel Comics". De er også inspirationen for Neil Gaimans genfortælling af myterne. No library descriptions found. |
