Viking Myths and Legends
29.99 €

Themes from Northern European legends permeate our entire culture—from Wagner's operas to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. From the songs of the Edda and Kalevala, from the Scandinavian legends of the Nibelungs, threads stretch to chivalric romances and the Arthurian cycle. And folk tales of elves, dwarves, and trolls gave rise to the genre of fairy tale fantasy—from The Chronicles of Narnia to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and The Witcher. In the mid-19th century, the historian, literary scholar, and translator Pyotr Polevoy introduced Russian readers to the legends of Thor and Odin, dragons and Valkyries. His collection of Scandinavian myths and legends was as much a revelation for Russian schoolchildren as Kuhn's Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece. A century and a half later, this book returns to us with magical illustrations by Joseph Alanen, Robert Wilhelm Ekman, Ferdinand Lekeu and other famous artists.
