Livro 1: Este livro é uma visão aprofundada da Era Viking e dos feitos e da vida cotidiana dessas pessoas antigas, às vezes misteriosas. Os vikings da Escandinávia eram heróicos, aventureiros e muitas vezes bárbaros, mas não se pode discutir que eles também eram um povo com grandes aspirações. A cultura viking ainda é um tópico de interesse hoje, e isso oferece uma visão de quão duradoura é o seu legado. Livro 2: Neste livro, “Mitologia Nórdica: Um Guia Conciso para os Deuses, Heróis, Sagas, Rituais e Crenças da Mitologia Nórdica, o leitor será transportado para os antigos costumes de crenças dos antigos Vikings do Norte. Este livro é dedicado a explorar os deuses e deusas que os nórdicos adoravam e nas páginas que você descobrirá: Uma descrição e explicação dos deuses e deusas mitológicos nórdicos e aos quais pertencia a tribo mencionada. Uma introdução aos sistemas de crenças pagãs nórdicos e as maneiras multifacetadas pelas quais suas práticas religiosas foram incorporadas em suas vidas diárias. Sagas nórdicas populares, uma descrição do que eram sagas e exemplos das sagas mais importantes da cultura nórdica. Uma explicação dos rituais e celebrações nórdicos mais reverenciados, e como suas crenças deixaram sua impressão em práticas religiosas que ainda hoje são mantidas pelo cristianismo. Os nórdicos tinham muitos heróis do mito e da lenda, e você será apresentado às histórias de mito e aos vivos, à respiração, aos heróis vikings que foram reverenciados. A mitologia nórdica é intrincada, complexa, e os ideais por trás de suas crenças mitológicas eram frequentemente entrelaçados com eventos da vida real. Este livro examinará como o mito e o fato contribuíram para a cultura e as tradições nórdicas e como essas influências e histórias continuam vivendo ao longo dos séculos! Livro 3: O conto de um rei guerreiro viking investiga o mistério que envolve o guerreiro viking que conquistou as nações europeias e se tornou rei por direito próprio. Mais de nove séculos após a morte deste grande guerreiro, poemas, canções e sagas antigas sobre ele ainda permanecem hoje. Este livro considera os fatos como os conhecemos, os mitos atribuídos a Ragnar e a maneira como esses pagãos icônicos do norte continuam a impactar a cultura moderna hoje. Este livro discutirá: Os fatos e suposições históricas em torno deste Viking da lenda A recontagem da saga de Ragnar e suas três esposas Como os filhos de Ragnar se tornaram parte integrante da lenda que Ragnar representa, e as histórias que eles inspiraram Como, apesar de séculos de tempo, Ragnar e os vikings de sua época ajudaram a moldar idéias e tradições comuns que ainda hoje são mantidas hoje Este livro é um relato factual e fictício e é dedicado a Ragnar e seu status lendário e suportável na história.

This fascinating new book reveals the origins of the Vikings—from Thor and Leif Erikson to Loki and the Valkyries—and the tales that have influenced our own lives. For thousands of years, Vikings have held a storied place in our culture—their distinct appearance, their mighty longships, their reputation for causing death and destruction. But who were these strange and mysterious folk? The Book of Viking Myths retells the stories of the Viking people, with myths of their gods and goddesses, monsters, and great heroes. From tales of the beautiful and powerful Freyja, to the gold-toothed Heimdallr, to the wolf Fenrir, Peter Archer explores all the figures and tales that make up Norse mythology. Along with these legends of seafaring, dwarves, giants, and the exploits of Thor, you will also discover the influences that Viking culture has had on our own lives. It’s a true exploration of Nordic culture—and a glimpse into the history and lore of these fabled Nordic warriors.

Whether they focus on Thor's powerful hammer, the wailing Valkyrie, the palatial home of the gods - Asgard - or ravenous wolves and fierce elemental giants, the Norse myths are packed with rowdy incident. But at the centre of their cosmos stands a gnarled old ash tree, Yggdrasil, from which all distances and times are measured. When the old tree creaks, Ragnarok - the end of the world and of the gods themselves - is at hand. It is from this tree that Odin, father of the gods, hanged himself in search of the wisdom of the dead: a disturbing image of divine sacrifice far removed from the feasting and fighting of his otherworld home, Valhalla. And an image so problematic for thirteenth century Christians that they left it out when they wrote the myths down. From Asgard to Valhalla is the first book to show how and why the Norse myths have so powerfully resonated from era to era: from Viking-age stories of ice and fire to the epic poetry of Beowulf; and from Wagner's Ring to Marvel Comics' Mighty Thor. Heather O'Donoghue, who is an expert on Old Norse culture, shows in what ways the Norse myths have impacted on the western mind, across the fields of literature, art, music and politics. She considers the wider contexts of Norse mythology, including its origins, medieval expression and reception in post-medieval societies right up to the present. From Asgard to Valhalla is a book that will intrigue and delight anyone who is keen to understand how the Norse myths have so profoundly shaped, and continue to shape, the western cultural heritage.

'A terrific, detailed introduction of these wonderful stories and the pantheon of characters in them . . . their writing is vivid and lively . . . a great addition to any library.' Rosi Hollinbeck, San Francisco Book Review 'With recent volumes, such as Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology and J.R.R. Tolkien's posthumously published The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún, appealing more to readers strictly interested in creative takes on classic Norse tales, this title attracts new readers by offering solid retellings and contextual information that serve as a valuable introduction to this rich tradition.' Library Journal While the main focus of the book is on telling the stories, some scene-setting is provided at the beginning and each chapter also contains a section of commentary to explain what is going on and its significance. The Norse myths have gained widespread attention in the English-speaking world, partly through a Scandinavian diaspora, especially in the USA) and partly through a great interest in the myths and legends which lie behind Viking activity. Tolkien's 'Middle Earth', too, as seen in both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films is heavily indebted to Germanic/Norse mythology. The Whittock's book fills a gap in the market between academic publications and the interest-generating (but confusing) products of Hollywood and comic-culture. This is an accessible book, which both provides a retelling of these dramatic stories and also sets them in context so that their place within the Viking world can be understood. The book explores Norse myths (stories, usually religious, which explain origins, why things are as they are, the nature of the spiritual) and legends (stories which attempt to explain historical events and which may involve historical characters but which are told in a non-historical way and which often include supernatural events).

From the Thorsdrapa to the Marvel Thor and Avengers movies, Odin, the dark and mysterious lord of Valhalla, looms over all of the ancient tales of the Vikings. With his brothers, he formed the world from the body of a giant and then went on to seek greater wisdom by sacrificing himself on a tree and trading one of his eyes with a witch. With this vast wisdom, he sits upon his throne, peering into the nine worlds, seeking anything that might threaten his people. He rides over the battles of mortal men, deciding who shall live and die, and collecting worthy souls to come and feast in his hall until the war at the end of time. This book retells the greatest of Odin's stories, and then places those stories within their historical and mythological context. It follows the figure of Odin through the centuries, showing how different times and cultures reinterpreted him, and explores the reasons why he remains such a popular figure today.
