HANOVER — Join the Medieval Book Club on Wednesday, August 7, at 6:30 p.m. for a captivating journey through ancient tales and legendary sagas.
This Month’s Pick: The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson
Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the primary source of our knowledge of Norse mythology. This classic work is filled with giants, dwarves, elves, superhuman heroes, and indomitable warrior queens. The gods within its pages live with the tragic foresight of their destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Spanning the eons from the world’s creation to its violent end, this robust new translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original.
