    Thank you!

    So, what makes this translation special?
    • Both poetic & literal presentations with original language shown.
      A rare translation that "shows its work," depicting both poetic & literal renderings side-by-side with the original language.
    • Insights on history, language & Norse culture.
      Each stanza is accompanied by newly written insights on history, language & Norse culture that shine a fresh light on the 700-year-old verses found in the Poetic Edda.

    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

        I'll add that to my wishlist. One of my old professors teaches a class on "viking history" where he assigns the sayings of the high one. I've always enjoyed the text and this book would give me an excuse to talk about it with him again.
        Thank you! There are a lot of historical & cultural notes in the book that should provide good fodder for conversation & debate. Hope you enjoy it.
