Fafnir's Heart: World Poetry in Translation is drawn from the pages of the adventurous and acclaimed e-journal, Poetry at Sangam. It features poems in 17 languages with special introductions to the work of each of the 49 featured poets and translators by editor Priya Sarukkai Chabria."We knew these delights existed around the world. It was a daydream to hold them in our hands and our minds, all together, hearing this orchestra of multiple voices in cadences of revolt and lyrics of passion. That daydream is realised now through these translations."- Arunava Sinha"Fafnir's Heart contains work by poets of various languages including, most significantly, the major languages of India. Here, some of the greatest poets of each language are translated into English by some of the finest living poets and translators. Together they open doors to a world that underlies both language and culture while embracing and projecting it. Its appearance is an affirmation of the diversity yet unity of poetic experience, which is, after all, human experience."- George Szirtes"Fafnir's Heart is an important anthology that is not only a pleasure to read, but it is also satisfyingly informative about each poet and translator. Translated literature is a bridge that connects people and cultures. It is impervious to bullets and bombs, political manipulations and religious dogma. Editor Priya Sarukkai Chabria has built such a bridge with these brilliantly translated poems."- Sholeh WolpéPRIYA SARUKKAI CHABRIA is an award-winning poet, translator and writer.

This examination of the heroic journey in world mythology casts the protagonist as a personification of nature--a "botanical hero" one might say--who begins the quest in a metaphorical seed-like state, then sprouts into a period of verdant strength. But the hero must face a mythic underworld where he or she contends with mortality and sacrifice--embracing death as a part of life. For centuries, humans have sought superiority over nature, yet the botanical hero finds nothing is lost by recognizing that one is merely a part of nature. Instead, a cyclical promise of continuous life is realized, in which no element fully disappears, and the hero's message is not to dwell on death.

The Saga of the Volsungs is an Icelandic epic of special interest to admirers of Richard Wagner, who drew heavily upon this Norse source in writing his Ring Cycle and a primary source for writers of fantasy such as J. R. R. Tolkien and romantics such as William Morris. A trove of traditional lore, it tells of love, jealousy, vengeance, war, and the mythic deeds of the dragonslayer, Sigurd the Volsung. Byock's comprehensive introduction explores the history, legends, and myths contained in the saga and traces the development of a narrative that reaches back to the period of the great folk migrations in Europe when the Roman Empire collapsed.

'Love. Hate. So what? It's family. It's business.' Fifteen-year-old Sigurd, son of King Sigmund, is the last surviving member of the Volson clan. His father’s kingdom – the former city of London – is gone. And his father’s knife, a gift from the gods, has been shattered to dust. Armed with a powerful sword forged from the remnants of the knife, Sigurd faces death, fire and torment as he travels through Hel and back to unite his country once again. Packed with political intrigue and violence, love, lust and family feuds, Bloodsong is perfect for fans of Game of Thrones. 'Burgess's great triumph is not so much in inventing new stories as in finding fresh ways of retelling the ones that are themselves in danger of falling into extinction' Guardian 'A gripping story of horrific proportions from a prize-winning author' - Publishing News 'Teenage boys with strong stomachs should enjoy it' - Independent on Sunday 'A thrillingly readable and evocative narrative' - Daily Telegraph

Nordic Sagas As Children S Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and has been published by McFarland this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-08-23 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book examines translations of Icelandic sagas and the Victorian and Edwardian children's literature they inspired, some of which are canonical while others are forgotten. It covers authors like William Morris, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Thomas Gray, Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, W.H. Auden, John Greenleef Whittier and more. In lavish volumes and modest schoolbooks, British and American writers claimed Nordic heritage and explored Nordic traditions. The sagas offered a rich and wide-ranging source for these authors: Volsunga saga's Sigurd the dragon slayer; King Olaf's saga of opposing Nordic Gods and Christianity; Frithiof's model of headstrong youth beset with unfair opposition and lost love. Grettir and Njal tell of men who accepted fate and met conflict and enemies unflinchingly; Aslaug, Gudrida, Hallberga and Hervar exerted remarkable influence; and Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky provided Americans with a Nordic heritage of discovery.
