Neil Gaiman is the author of the New York Times best-selling A View from the Cheap Seats, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, Neverwhere, and the Sandman series of graphic novels, among other works. His fiction has received Newbery, Carnegie, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner Awards. His novel American Gods aired as a TV series in 2017. Originally from England, he lives in the United States, where he is a professor at Bard College.
Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

評分北歐眾神,這是一本發揮想象的著作,它的想象力從宇宙的開端發展到宇宙的結尾,也寫著北歐眾神的起源與結束。這部小說,真實的反應齣在神的世界並不會像我們想象的那麼和平,那麼無敵。而是像我們人類的思維一樣,擁有著正義與邪惡。眾神與人類隻是差瞭個超能力,他們的思想都...

評分 評分我坐在電影院看《神奇女俠》的時候,會驚嘆這位女神的力量來自哪裏,電影中會提到她是神的後代,繼承瞭神的力量,擁有獨特而神秘的力量。這也隻是開始的開始而已,開始瞭當然會有結束,我的結束是看完影片,我就在想導演拍的真好,演員演的更好,一個完整的故事呈現在熒幕上,...

評分蓋曼叔的神話重述,花瞭半年斷斷續續讀完瞭...講的還是熟悉的故事,也就是埃達裏那些,所以看點還是在故事的述說方式上。很平易近人的語言,文字簡單易懂又蘊含著那種簡潔的美感,非常好看。
