THE YOUNGER EDDA; ALSO CALLED SNORRE'S EDDA, OR THE PROSE EDDA EBOOK (edición en inglés)

Snorri Sturlusons The Younger Edda; Also called Snorres Edda, or The Prose Edda is a cornerstone of Norse mythology and Scandinavian literature. Written in the 13th century, this text serves as a guidebook for aspiring poets and storytellers, providing detailed explanations of the old Norse myths and poetic techniques. Sturlusons prose is clear and didactic, offering a wealth of information on Norse cosmology, deities, and epic tales such as the famous Ragnarok. The book also includes a collection of poems that showcase the beauty of Norse poetry. The Younger Edda is a seminal work that continues to influence modern interpretations of Norse mythology. Snorri Sturluson, an Icelandic historian and poet, was deeply immersed in the world of Norse mythology and literature. His expertise in these subjects is evident in the meticulous detail and deep understanding displayed in The Younger Edda. Sturlusons own background as a poet and politician likely motivated him to create a comprehensive guide that would preserve and elucidate Norse mythology for future generations. I highly recommend The Younger Edda to readers interested in Norse mythology, folklore, and medieval literature. Sturlusons work is not only informative but also a captivating read that immerses readers in the rich tapestry of Norse storytelling.
