The Prose Edda

Více o knize

Exploring the rich tapestry of Norse mythology, this collection features the work of Snorri Sturluson, who intertwines historical narratives with mythic tales. The prologue links the Norse gods to Trojan ancestry, while the second book, Gylfaginning, delves into the cosmos of creation and destruction. Skáldskaparmál focuses on a dialogue about the essence of poetry, and Háttatal presents various poetic forms. This edition, enhanced with notes and vocabulary by Rasmus B. Anderson, stands as a vital text in Icelandic literature.
