The Vikings and their norse gods fought a
constant battle with nature. Their landscape,
with its stark mountains and long nights created
a particularly rough mythology, with profound
contrasts and unforgettable heroes: Odin, Thor
and Loki are just some of the familiar
characters that maintain an influence over us
today through movies, TV series and comics, to
great fiction and epic poetry. This fabulous new
book offers all the main tales with an
introduction to the characters and the land that
inspired them.ÿ
