Myths and Legends of the Vikings

The motives of the legends of the European North are impregnated by our entire culture - from the operas of Wagner to the “Lord of the Rings” of Tolkien. From the songs of Edsa and Kale-Vala, the threads of knightly novels and the cycle about King Arthur are stretched from the Scandinavian legends of the Nibelungs. And folk tales about the elves, gnomes and trolls gave rise to the genre of fabulous science fiction - from the Chronicle of Narnia to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and the Witcher.
The legends born in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, in the regions, which we know as the lands of fearless Vikings, are filled with the ringing of swords and magic runs, the most fantastic creatures and the greatest heroes live here.
With the traditions from the world of Thor and Odin, dragons and Valkyrie the Russian reader, a historian, literary critic and translator Peter Poleva introduced in the middle of the 19th century. His collection of myths and legends of Scandinavia was for Russian schoolchildren the same discovery as the “legends and myths of ancient Greece” Kun. After a century and a half, this book returns to us with the magical illustrations of Joseph Alanen, Robert Wilhelm Ekman, Axeli Gallen-Callles, Ferdinand Lex, Arthur Rackham and other famous artists
