À propos de cet audio
Introducing an instant classic - master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman's deft and witty prose emerge the gods 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.
©2017 Neil Gaiman (P)2017 HarperCollins PublishersCe que les critiques en disent
"Neil Gaiman's retelling of Norse myths is destined to become a classic for both his sure-footed stories and his captivating performance.... The tales seem timeless, and Gaiman's melodic narration so strongly echoes the oral tradition of myths that it's as if the narrator has stepped out of the stories themselves." (AudioFile)
"In 'Norse Mythology,' Gaiman brings voice to the old myths so viscerally that listening to the audiobook every night for a week, I thought my bedroom might explode into Valhalla.... In fact the entire Norse pantheon, including dwarves and giants and demons, plays out as vividly as a novel or film.... Hearing the great myths spoken in a language from my present with a trace of ancient history physically broke me open, Gaiman's voice bringing the characters to life." (The New York Times Book Review)

Didn't want it to end
I've always been a huge fan of Gaiman, but hadn't yet read this book. When I mentioned to a friend about wanting to learn more about the mythology they suggested this. It's an excellent primer, and expertly told in easy to understand stories. It was so entertaining, and Gaiman really delivers as the narrator.

Another Awesome Read by an Amazing Writer
Though short, this is a fantastic book for anyone interested in learning about Norse Mythology or storytelling in general. Neil Gaiman brings his oratory talents to another smartly written tale.
Definitely worth your time and money. HOWEVER!!! If you haven't purchased and listened to Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane", DO THAT NOW. By far is most arresting work and read beautifully and heart-breakingly by the author.

An amazing glimpse to our past
If you’re hming and hawing about reading or listening to this book, do yourself a favour and just do it. It was read and preformed so we’ll. The stories were woven together so amazingly. Learning the stories that were told hundreds and thousands of year ago from my ancestor’s and as such an amazing experience. Though I wish there was more around it is amazing how Neil wove them together in such an artful manner

Engaging and funny telling of Norse myths
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It offers a great overview of Norse mythology which, as it turns out, is surprisingly humorous. Gaiman does a great job bringing his text to life. Fans of the Stephen Fry books on Greek mythology will likely enjoy this as well.
