Snorri
The afterlife adventures of Snorri Sturluson
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Who does not love a good tale drawn from Norse mythology? Tales of Odin, the cunning, one-eyed god of poetry, magic and war, ever scheming to avert Raganarök, the twilight of the gods. Tales of the hulking god Thor who, with his mighty hammer Miolnir, battles with the giants. Or of Freya, Tyr, or the trickster-god Loki. From the 19th Century onward, such tales have been popularised in the western world, giving rise to entire genres of music and fiction, from Wagner’s operatic ring cycle to Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, and to an entire series of Marvel films based on the adventures of Thor. The Vikings and their gods have experienced an enormous resurgence of interest in the 21st Century.
'Snorri' is a fantasy novel inspired by the life and death of the prime originator of the Norse Myths, Snorri Sturluson. Waking up in Hel, he is met by a mysterious messenger. On a breathtaking and dangerous journey through the Nine Worlds of Yggdrasil, the truth behind the Norse myths is shown to Snorri, but to what purpose? Only towards the journey’s end will the reason be revealed. ‘Snorri’ is a roistering yarn that will be enjoyed by anyone who loves tales of the gods of the Vikings.
