Introducing an instant classic―master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman―difficult with his beard and huge appetite―to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir―the most sagacious of gods―is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people.
Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
神话传说更像是一个民族童年的记忆,他们把尚在蒙昧和初探文明之间的对世界的印象,留在了代代相传的故事里。这些故事的主角往往是带有自然属性的神灵,但诸神的精神内核,往往却是凡人。 北欧神话体系中的故事中,我们常常可以品咂出斯堪的纳维亚人的味道,带着海水的咸和蜜酒...
评分 评分我坐在电影院看《神奇女侠》的时候,会惊叹这位女神的力量来自哪里,电影中会提到她是神的后代,继承了神的力量,拥有独特而神秘的力量。这也只是开始的开始而已,开始了当然会有结束,我的结束是看完影片,我就在想导演拍的真好,演员演的更好,一个完整的故事呈现在荧幕上,...
评分前注:写本文时中译本还没出,我自然而然的以为中译本会将 Norse Mythology 翻译成《北欧神话》,故在文中均以此指代本书,以及有数个自译的标题和节选片段。不料现在发现中译本标题竟翻译成《北欧众神》,惊讶之余想来也不难理解,如此翻译可以与其他写北欧神话的书籍区分开,...
评分北欧众神,这是一本发挥想象的著作,它的想象力从宇宙的开端发展到宇宙的结尾,也写着北欧众神的起源与结束。这部小说,真实的反应出在神的世界并不会像我们想象的那么和平,那么无敌。而是像我们人类的思维一样,拥有着正义与邪恶。众神与人类只是差了个超能力,他们的思想都...
听的
评分基本上都是听过的故事,但这样一来,就显出NG讲得比别人好。讲播也加分。
