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 评分前注:写本文时中译本还没出,我自然而然的以为中译本会将 Norse Mythology 翻译成《北欧神话》,故在文中均以此指代本书,以及有数个自译的标题和节选片段。不料现在发现中译本标题竟翻译成《北欧众神》,惊讶之余想来也不难理解,如此翻译可以与其他写北欧神话的书籍区分开,...
评分我坐在电影院看《神奇女侠》的时候,会惊叹这位女神的力量来自哪里,电影中会提到她是神的后代,继承了神的力量,拥有独特而神秘的力量。这也只是开始的开始而已,开始了当然会有结束,我的结束是看完影片,我就在想导演拍的真好,演员演的更好,一个完整的故事呈现在荧幕上,...

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。
