Synopsis

Norse mythology is an important origin of fantasy culture! Neil Gaiman, the master of fantasy literature and author of "American Gods", retells the glorious Norse mythology! Ragnarok has arrived, and the ancient gods are about to awaken. Where does Thor's hammer come from? Why did Odin, the father of the gods, lose an eye? What is the identity of Loki, who is both good and evil? In the two thousand years since its birth, it has gone through many interpretations, and the origin of Nordic mythology has become increasingly blurred. Now, Neil Gaiman, the master of fantasy literature, has clarified the context of Nordic mythology and reproduced this glorious and magnificent mythological system in a brand-new way. From the World Tree to the Nine Worlds, from the birth of everything to the Twilight of the Gods, from the golden apples of youth to the giant wolf Fenir... In Gaiman's writing, the story is reborn and the gods are resurrected one by one.

Neil Gaiman, the author of this book, is amazing! He retells the Nordic myths from a new perspective and writing style, making these ancient stories more vivid and interesting. Moreover, his descriptions of the gods were so detailed that I felt as if I was in that mysterious world. This reminds me of the Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings", which is also full of mystery and fantasy. I think friends who like fantasy literature must not miss this book "Norse Gods".

Gods all struggle, not to mention whether there is struggle among humans. If there is no consistent direction, every contest will affect everything.

Loki eats quickly. . . (To be honest, some of the stories are interesting and even a little funny)

The difference between Norse mythology and many mainstream gods is that they have selfish, despicable, and cunning sides

If you understand Nordic mythology, you will understand the spiritual world of Europe and Americans, and you will understand why the Marvel Universe is so popular.

Looking for a Study List for OC People

I would like to read a book similar to "Jungian Psychology". Are there any OC references or books to study? I prefer Jungian psychology/personality typology. Others can also be recommended. Religion, writing skills, mysticism, psychology, and design can all be recommended.
