书籍简介

维京人的神话在当今的流行文化中依然鲜活存在：众所周知的北欧战神托尔（因漫威电影宇宙而广为人知）；诸神黄昏，世界末日的大战，众多神祇和英雄在此消亡，大地被淹没；齐格弗里德和布伦希尔德的悲惨爱情故事，是德国作曲家理查德·瓦格纳音乐和歌剧的核心；诡计多端的洛基、大神奥丁的八足神马斯莱普尼尔，以及精灵、矮人和巨魔等角色，都是20世纪奇幻文学中的流行主题。在《图解北欧神祇与神话》中，我们将了解奥丁如何用自己的眼睛换取了赋予智慧的魔法井米米斯布伦的饮水；了解洛基如何恶作剧般剪掉美丽女神希芙的头发，并为了报答托尔，不得不从矮人工匠那里获得无比强大的雷神之锤 Mjöllnir；探索神话中众神的居所阿斯加德，如何因丰饶女神弗蕾亚的求婚而得到巨人尤顿的加固；并惊叹于圣树伊格德拉西尔，北欧宇宙围绕这棵圣树发展。本书采用精美的中国传统装帧，包含100幅插图和照片，将吸引所有对神话感兴趣的人，这些神话为我们带来了可怕的巨狼芬里尔和冥界统治者女神赫拉。

The mythology of the Vikings is still alive today in popular culture: everyone knows of Thor, the Norse god of war (made popular through the Marvel Cinematic Universe); Ragnarök, the great battle at the end of the world, where many gods and heroes perish and the earth is submerged in water; the tragic love story of Siegfried and Brunhild, central to the music and operas of German composer Richard Wagner; the characters of Loki the Trickster, the great god Odin’s eight-legged horse Sleipnir, and elves, dwarfs and trolls, all popular motifs in 20th century fantasy literature. In Norse Gods & Myths see how Odin exchanged his eye in order to drink from the wisdom-giving Mímisbrunnr magical well; learn how Loki cut off the hair of the beautiful goddess Sif as a practical joke, and had to repay Thor by obtaining the all- powerful hammer Mjöllnir from artisan dwarves; explore how Asgard, the mythical dwelling place of the gods, was fortified by the giant jötunn in exchange for the fertility goddess Freya’s hand in marriage; and marvel at Yggdrasil, the sacred tree around which the Norse cosmos developed. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding with 100 illustrations and photographs, this book will fascinate anyone interested in the mythology that brought us the terrifying giant wolf Fenrir and the goddess Hel, ruler of the underworld.
