The Poetic Edda & The Prose Edda : The Elder Saemundar Edda: Baldr's Dreams, Loki's Altercation + The Younger Snorri's Edda: Of Odin, Of Thor, Of Ragnarok, Gylfi's Journey To Asgard

Delve into the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and medieval Icelandic literature with 'The Poetic Edda & The Prose Edda'. This collection transcends the boundaries of time, weaving together an array of ancient myths, heroic lays, and Skaldic verses that reverberate with the power and complexity of these lost worlds. Offerings range from apocalyptic visions of Ragnarök to intricate tales of gods and monsters. While the works are traditionally situated within a Scandinavian context, their universal themes of fate, valor, and the human condition ensure a resonance far beyond their original setting. The dual inclusion of both the poetic and prose traditions illuminates the breadth of stylistic variance inherent in Norse storytelling, enriching our appreciation for these seminal works. Helmed by the masterful historian and bard Snorri Sturluson and the legendary cleric Saemund Sigfusson, this anthology brings together narratives that have deeply influenced Western literature and culture. Snorri's comprehensive narratives offer insight into the oral traditions from which they originated, providing an invaluable bridge to the past. This anthology benefits from their expertise, offering layers of cultural, historical, and literary insights that underscore the significance of these texts in preserving Norse heritage, while simultaneously demonstrating the intricate art of storytelling that defined this era. Readers are invited into a world where ancient wisdom and narrative artistry converge, offering a unique opportunity to explore the multiplicity of perspectives inherent within Norse mythology. 'The Poetic Edda & The Prose Edda' is more than just a collection; it is an invitation to witness the dynamic interplay of myth and history. Whether for academic pursuit or personal enrichment, this anthology stands as an indispensable resource, ensuring enduring dialogue between the ancient voices of Nordic lore and the modern reader.
