Rezensionen
Geen atlas maar een leuk overzicht van de locaties waar Vikingen zich ooit gevestigd hebben.
Very well done. Includes a lot of areas of where the vikings settled, has artifact pictures, very detailed, has tons of information.
I'm introducing myself to Norse legends and myths, since I've never really spent much time with them outside of Marvel Comics. I picked this one up from my library because it was one of the few non-fiction, non-children's books dealing with the subject.
It isn't quite what I was looking for, but is very interesting regardless. It gives a broad introduction to the history and preservation of the old Norse tales while relating the stories as we have them, based on the few recorded accounts that have been preserved.
I really was more interested in just the stories and not so much the history of who recorded them and so this book is kind of thin. It tells the stories, but from a more clinical, less storytelling view.
Good historical accounting of what we know of the stories, but not as much fun as a bedtime tale.… (mehr)
