Rate this book
Die nach 1220 von Snorri Sturluson verfasste 'Jüngere Edda' oder 'Prosa-Edda' ist ein Lehrbuch für die altisländischen Dichter, die sogenannten Skalden. Sie werden anhand vieler Beispiele mit den Inhalten, den sprachlichen Techniken und metrischen Formen ihrer kunstvollen Poesie vertraut gemacht. Die vorliegende, mit umfangreichem Kommentar versehene Auswahl konzentriert sich vor allem auf die Kapitel, die den Inhalten gewidmet sind. Sie sind als Gesamtdarstellung der nordgermanischen Mythologie bis heute von unschätzbarem Wert.

About the author

Snorri Sturluson

361 books305 followers
Snorri Sturluson (also spelled Snorre Sturlason) was an Icelandic historian, poet and politician. He was twice elected lawspeaker at the Icelandic parliament, the Althing. He was the author of the Prose Edda or Younger Edda, which consists of Gylfaginning ("the fooling of Gylfi"), a narrative of Norse mythology, the Skáldskaparmál, a book of poetic language, and the Háttatal, a list of verse forms. He was also the author of the Heimskringla, a history of the Norwegian kings that begins with legendary material in Ynglinga saga and moves through to early medieval Scandinavian history. For stylistic and methodological reasons, Snorri is often taken to be the author of Egils saga.

I read this, the Prose Edda, as part of one of my classes in university, and I actually really enjoyed learning about Norse mythology. This was apparently written in the 13th century and it's incredibly interesting to read something that old.

Die Kenninge sind doch sehr erheiternd.
"Meine heftige, dunkle Schlange des Brettes Wald durfte unfreundlich spielen in den Händen der Männer, wo die Krieger aufeinander trafen. (Die Männer kämpften mit dem Speer.)"
