Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt Pdf

The Booker Prize–winning author of Possession breathes life into the Ragnorak myth through the novel of a young British girl during World War II. Ragnarok retells the finale of Norse mythology: a story of the destruction of life on this planet and the end of the gods themselves. What more relevant myth could any modern writer choose? As the bombs of the Blitz rain down on Britain, one young girl is evacuated to the countryside. She is struggling to make sense of her new wartime life. Then she is given a copy of Asgard and the Gods—a book of ancient Norse myths—and her inner and outer worlds are transformed. War, natural disaster, reckless gods, and the recognition of impermanence in the world are just some of the threads that A.S. Byatt weaves into this most timely of books. Linguistically stunning and imaginatively abundant, this is a landmark. A Globe and Mail (Toronto) Best Book “A gorgeous, brilliant, and significant performance.” —Booklist, starred review “Byatt’s prose is majestic, the lush descriptive passages—jewelled one minute, gory the next—a pleasure to get lost in.” —The Telegraph

Ragnarok by Terry Unger Pdf

Wodan sat back in his High Seat as he looked back over the last ten years. The mess known as Discovery Center had been eliminated and Midgard was free....... Morgan vividly remembered the conversation that he and his sister had with his goddess birth mother, the Morrigan, and Freya before the Discovery Center assault. Morgan found out that, had Freya had a different disposition, she would have been chosen as his goddess birth mother and not the Morrigan. That fact did not sit well with him, when he considered that Freya wanted to seduce him to piss off the Morrigan....... Freya had picked up the slack for Sunny, preforming the various duties that fell to Sunny after her mother Gina's death. It appeared to Freya, and too many other gods and goddesses, that Sunny was a woman beyond redemption.......

Loki Ragnarok by Mark Binder Pdf

2019 Audie Award Finalist for Original Work! “A well-told tale of the Norse gods.… Binder’s voice swoops and soars, now angry, now gleeful and now mocking, as Loki tells these stories of the gods run amok.” — The Providence Journal LOKI RAGNAROK is the Viking Armageddon retold by the trickster. In the shadow of prophecy, a family is torn asunder, leading to betrayal, torture, madness and revenge. “For nearly a thousand years, the tale of Ragnarok – the Norse myth of Apocalypse – has painted Loki as a Satan-like evil. With a fast-paced blend of prose and poetry, award-winning author Mark Binder offers an epic revision of the Eddas with modern resonance.” – Duval, Between Myth, Lies, and History “Mark Binder has a knack for blending ancient mythology with modern storytelling techniques to create a vibrant and contemporary tale.”
