1989年,蓋曼以漫畫《睡魔》開始瞭創作之路。其後,他的創作逐漸涵蓋瞭小說、漫畫、詩歌、劇本等多個領域,代錶作有《美國眾神》《星塵》《好兆頭》《烏有鄉》等。因其作品的獨特風格和想象力,《邁阿密新時報》認為他已經成為“文學界的搖滾明星”;驚悚小說大師斯蒂芬•金則認為他“創作力之豐沃與作品水準之高,既神奇又嚇人”。

蓋曼的創作以奇幻文學為主,這與他自幼閱讀的大量神話密不可分。如今,在《北歐眾神》中,他追本溯源,迴歸至愛的北歐神話體係,用自己的敘事技巧,與更多人分享閱讀神話的快樂。
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.
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,...
評分 評分北欧众神,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...
評分 評分因為開頭結尾多給一星。按照裏麵的故事隻有三星。和以前的短篇感覺不一樣瞭,沒有被教導被保護的感覺。最好所有神都狗帶。一個比一個煩人,
评分朗讀版,斷斷續續聽完,托爾扮新娘那段笑死瞭。最後洛基被灌毒和眾神的黃昏突然感動。

评分看完讓人不得不懷疑《戰神》的編劇是不是請瞭尼爾·蓋曼當神話顧問,提爾和芙蕾雅的塑造像極瞭遊戲裏的塑造,其他眾神的形象也和遊戲裏一樣猥瑣。提爾和小芬裏爾那段很虐,雷神就是《美國眾神》裏的無腦實誠王大錘,洛基則像是直接從《睡魔》裏迴來的
评分超愛
