Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor's hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman -- difficult with his beard and huge appetite -- to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir -- the most sagacious of gods -- is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. 000772742 650_0 $$aMythology, Norse. 000772742 85200 $$bgen$$hBL860$$i.G35$$i2017 000772742 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:772742$$pGLOBAL_SET 000772742 980__ $$aBIB 000772742 980__ $$aBOOK
