(Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4. The Prose Edda: Norse Mythology - Kindle edition by Snorri Sturluson, GP Editors. (Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0) This edition also features a new foreword, introducing the work to a modern audience. This abridged edition has only removed sections dealing with technical rules for writing poetry in the Viking style, but has included all the myths and legends. This is the only edition available with introduction, text summaries, indexes and chronology of early Icelandic literature. That makes this book one of the closest sources we have to these tales as the Vikings actually told them, not filtered through a modern lens. The EDDA contains the most extensive account of Norse myths and legends that has survived from the Middle Ages.
This collection, The Prose Edda, was the first time the Viking myths were assembled and written down in plain prose (before then, they existed only as oral poems). Enjoy these ancient tales of tragedy, death, glory, and love, with all the gory and mystic details left out of the Hollywood versions. Hear the original tales of Thor, Odin, and Loki, as the Vikings heard them long ago.
