Description
In this dazzling, illustrated edition of the instant classic that has sold more than a million copies, award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold brings Neil Gaiman’s bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world to life.
Bursting off the page with breathtaking, full-color art are tales of fierce battles with giants, storied quests for knowledge, and the gods in Asgard: 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 takes us from the genesis of the legendary nine worlds to Ragnorak, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time. Through his epic storytelling and Pinfold’s enthralling images, 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, breathing vivid life into these long-ago myths.
“Who else but Neil Gaiman could become an accomplice of the gods, using the sorcery of words to make their stories new?” –Maria Tatar, translator and editor of The Annotated Brothers Grimm
“Gaiman brings rakish mischief and severe glamour to the Norse canon.” —The New Yorker
“Remarkable. . . . Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos.” –Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic
“A lively, funny and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters).” –Petra Mayer, NP
