Description

The Prose Edda: A Window into Norse Mythology Written in Iceland over a century after the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is a rich source of Norse mythology, featuring giants, dwarves, and elves, as well as superhuman heroes and warrior queens. Its gods live with the knowledge of their own impending destruction in the apocalyptic battle of Ragnarok, which spans the world's creation to its violent end. This new translation captures the sweeping narrative and psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original, offering a fresh perspective on the myths and legends of Norse mythology. With its robust and authoritative text, this edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of Norse mythology. Published by National Geographic Books, this illustrated edition is part of the Penguin Classics series, which has been a leading publisher of classic literature for over seventy years.
