Resumen del Editor

Delve into the fascinating history of Norse mythology with these thrilling tales of battle and magic....

What do you think of when you hear the words "Norse mythology"?

Chances are, your mind goes straight to Thor or Odin, some of the most well-known Nordic gods.

But their stories barely scratch the surface of the complicated and fascinating myths of ancient Scandinavia.

As Germanic tribes clashed and reconciled, a rich and detailed realm of the gods was created through the melding and exchanging of stories and characters that reflected the complicated historical events around them.

The clash of the Vanir and the Aesir, or the old and new gods, is thought to be indicative of a real conflict between two tribes that later found a way to coexist.

Through developing an understanding of the stories that remain, you will learn about the intricacies of ancient Nordic culture.

Beginning with the historical background of the Viking Age, you will become familiar with the creation myth, and discover the complicated family trees that the gods and goddesses of Asgard created.

You'll uncover the most important figures in Nordic culture, and find out how their existence continues to be relevant in the modern day.

In Uncovering Norse Mythology, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

• How these legends have endured to present day, and the historical relics that have contributed to their longevity
• The stories, powers, and complicated relationships of the most important Norse gods and goddesses
• A history of the Viking Age and the unique environment that contributed to the development of their ideals and beliefs
• How the Norse people explained the nature of natural phenomena, such as shuddering earthquakes and rumbling thunderstorms

Good to start.

I am new to Norse Mythology...this was a good introduction as i have come across these stories in other books now.

Norse mythology plain and simple

This was my introduction to classic Norse mythology, and I have learned I am not a fan of classic Norse mythology.

Excellent

This book was really fun and a good easy read. The reader was clear and fun to listen to.

Nice

Every time I listened to this at any length I would dim the lights quiet the company around me and allow us all to immerse in the story and hopefully as I did. That they too would feel as if they were at an old Nordic campfire hearing the stories from the bards of old.

fantastic

loved this book. I enjoy a lot of works by this author this is no different. I also love the way he narratives the book.

Great and interesting book.

Everything about this book was intelligently interesting, funny plus made you want more. The last chapter felt a bit rushed but all else, I would definitely recommend.

Another new and unexpected book with this masterpiece by Lucas Russo

The vivid language instantly transported me into another universe, immersing me into deep Norse Mythology roots.

Amazing

If Lucas Russo wasn't such an amazing writer he'd definitely find his way in voice acting, and it's an easy listen for those that want to know the original myths but can't manage to get through the original writing.

Awesome

I worked through this book with my class and they loved it. It kept them entertained and actually wanting to hear what crazy thing Loki was going to try next!

Entertaining

I thought I knew a few things about Norse myth, but this was unexpected and delightful. Lucas Russo has done a great job of weaving these disparate stories into a larger tapestry.
