Snorri Sturluson's Edda. Myths and legends from the weekend. Translated by Professor Anne Holtsmark.
The Prose Edda is one of the foundational works of Nordic culture and one of the most important contributions of the Nordic peoples to European culture. The Edda is a great read and opens its readers to an understanding of the Æsir religion and the ancient world of poetry and myth.
What makes this edition of the work unique is the book's illustrations, as the book contains a selection of European art that arose from reading the Edda in past centuries. The book contains 130 works of art, the oldest illustration is from 1680 and the youngest from 1985. The book is artistically designed, in full color and printed on quality paper. A true treasure.
