Sinopsis

The 'Poetic Edda & The Prose Edda (Complete Edition)' offers an unparalleled excursion into the mythic landscape of Norse literature, weaving together narratives that have been the foundations of Northern European mythos. Within this collection, readers will traverse through a tapestry of heroic tales, mythological poems, and prose narratives that capture the imagination with their vivid imagery and powerful storytelling. The juxtaposition of these two seminal works allows for a unique interplay between lyrical formality and narrative prose, providing a comprehensive view of the grand themes of creation, heroism, and the inevitable Ragnar√∂k prophecy. The authors behind these works, Snorri Sturluson and Saemund Sigfusson, stand as monumental figures in the preservation and dissemination of Old Norse lore. Sturluson'Äôs 'Prose Edda' artfully complements the anonymous poems collected by Sigfusson, creating a bridge between historically rich oral traditions and their written counterparts. Together, their works encapsulate the cultural zeitgeist of medieval Scandinavia, emphasizing the significance of sagas and skaldic poetry in shaping our understanding of Viking history, mythology, and society. This complete edition is an invitation to delve into the intricate narrative tapestry of Norse mythology. Comprising diverse perspectives and styles, it offers readers a chance to gain profound insights into the ancient world, fostering a dialogue between past and present, poetry and prose, myth and reality. For scholars, enthusiasts, and casual readers alike, this anthology presents a scholarly yet accessible exploration of the timeless tales that continue to resonate across generations.

Why did Mother deliberately burn down her family home at age fifteen? she asks herself. What is the truth of why baby brother Buddy was suddenly gone? And the last relentless question, Why was Mother so angry? Although the search plunges Vernetta into Mother’s murky past, the difficult answers bring restorative healing.
