Germanic Mythology. Gods of the Ancient Germans
19.99 €
Where are the boundaries between Germanic and Scandinavian mythology? Why was the paganism of the ancient Germans so easily absorbed by Christianity, and what of the ancient Germanic beliefs still exists today?
The name of Jacob Grimm is well known to both adults and children. After all, Jacob is one of the famous storytellers - the Brothers Grimm, but he became famous as a researcher of Germanic culture and mythology. Jacob Grimm's seminal work is still considered "seminal and in many ways unsurpassed." Speaking of Germanic paganism, Grimm shows readers little-known rituals and explains their essence. Articles and chapters are devoted to philological, historical, folkloristic, and poetic aspects of pre-Christian Germanic religions. The sources used by the author vary by era and geography. Dmitry Kolchigin's translation of Jacob Grimm's Germanic Mythology and commentary on it were awarded the German Translation Prize "Merck" in the category "Popular Science Literature" in 2020.
