Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
Neil Gaiman is the author of the New York Times best-selling A View from the Cheap Seats, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, Neverwhere, and the Sandman series of graphic novels, among other works. His fiction has received Newbery, Carnegie, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner Awards. His novel American Gods aired as a TV series in 2017. Originally from England, he lives in the United States, where he is a professor at Bard College.

评分总体来说不如预期。 内容太浅,也太少,还不如机核的电台节目小北欧神话的内容翔实。可惜读茅盾的《北欧神话ABC》也已经是好多年之前了,印象没有深刻到可以做对比,如果有空的话倒是可以把《北欧神话ABC》再读一遍。 另一个对照是PS4游戏《战神4》,有趣的是主角奎爷和儿子二...
评分 评分大家好,我是兴趣使然的神话粉编辑房二狗。。。 最近老在书店里看到成堆的(我沙雕又可爱的同事编辑的)《北欧众神》火爆热卖,到处都是封面上那把锤子。 就自发热,想要写tu写cao这堆在《北欧众神》中大放异彩的,可爱又各有缺陷的众神吧。 1.神王奥丁 Odin 众神中最古老、最...

评分盖曼叔的神话重述,花了半年断断续续读完了...讲的还是熟悉的故事,也就是埃达里那些,所以看点还是在故事的述说方式上。很平易近人的语言,文字简单易懂又蕴含着那种简洁的美感,非常好看。
