Description
Snorri Sturluson's "The Prose Edda" is a foundational text of Norse mythology, composed around 1220. This collection of myths has survived through medieval manuscripts and was later translated by Rasmus B. Anderson with introduction, notes, and vocabulary. The book is divided into four main sections: a prologue that describes the Norse gods as historical descendants of the Trojans; Gylfaginning, which tells the creation and destruction of the world of the Nordic gods; Skáldskaparmál, a dialogue on the nature of poetry; and Háttatal, a section of poetry composed by Snorri Sturluson himself. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, making it a high-quality resource for anyone interested in Norse mythology.
