Sinopsis

The Story of Frithiof the Bold is a captivating narrative steeped in Norse mythology and folklore, artfully blending elements of adventure and romance. Written in the 19th century by an anonymous author, this narrative poem is notable for its lyrical style and vivid imagery. It tells the tale of the heroic Frithiof, a Viking prince whose love for the beautiful Ingeborg is thwarted by the demands of honor and fate. The work echoes the rich oral traditions of Scandinavian sagas while contributing a romantic sensibility that reflects the growing Nordic nationalism of its time, making it an essential piece in understanding the intersection of literature and cultural identity in the era of Romanticism. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to the text, as it allows the story to stand independently of individual authorship, representing a collective cultural heritage. Influenced by earlier Norse epics and the burgeoning interest in national folklore, the author aimed to revive these heroic tales for a contemporary audience, tapping into the era's fascination with the past and romantic ideals. This enchanting tale is recommended for those who appreciate classic literature and the deeper themes of love, duty, and heroism woven into the fabric of Norse mythology. Readers will find themselves drawn into Frithiof's struggles and triumphs, making it a must-read for enthusiasts of folklore and epic poetry.

The Hauntings - Classic tales of...

Charles Dickens

At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension.  And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be.  Perhaps even terrified.   In this volume our classic authors take different approaches, but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation—or shock—of the next few words.

Just Like a Butterfly - A New...

Kashel Char

It’s the year 2004 A.D  
JuandreAt twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be.   
When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams, and ask for what I wanted.Juandre and Andrew’s Story—Before the Doomsday of 2046 A.D.
