Synopsis

Thor was not always a superhero in a cape. The real Norse myths are wilder, darker, and way more interesting than anything Hollywood ever made up. Before Marvel turned them into movie characters, the Norse gods were part of one of the most fascinating mythologies ever created. Odin sacrificed his own eye for wisdom. Loki's pranks had consequences that shook the entire cosmos. Ragnarok was not just a movie title. It was the end of everything. These are stories that have captivated people for over a thousand years, told here in a way that is perfect for teens who want the real deal without the dry, academic tone. Each myth is retold in short, punchy chapters that are easy to pick up and hard to put down. From the creation of the Nine Worlds from ice and fire to Odin's relentless quest for knowledge, from Loki's most infamous schemes to Thor's legendary battles against giants and serpents, and finally to Ragnarok's dramatic prophecy. Norse mythology shaped art, literature, and pop culture. This book is the gateway to understanding where it all started.

About Auke de Haan

Auke de Haan
Hi, I'm Auke, a passionate advocate for the Frisian language with deep roots in Frisian culture. I grew up in this vibrant heritage and have dedicated myself to preserving our unique linguistic identity. It's spoken by about 500,000 people, mostly in Friesland, Netherlands. As a key contributor to Skriuwer.com, I work with others to create books that educate and inspire, helping ensure the Frisian language, recognized as an official language alongside Dutch, stays alive for future generations. My work comes from a strong belief in language as the foundation of history and belonging. I'm proud that proceeds from these books support nonprofit efforts like De Fryske Wrâld. Join me in sustaining this ancient European tongue. Let's keep Frisian thriving.
