The Prose Edda: Norse Mythology (Penguin Classics)

Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose EddaÂ is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from the worldâ€™s creation to its violent end. This robust new translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychologicalÂ complexity of the Old Icelandic original.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700Â titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
