Köp båda 2 för 605 krAfter 800 years, the final installment of The Edda Trilogy has at long last arrived! Picking up where its medieval forebears, The Poetic Edda and The Prose Edda , left off, The Impudent Edda not only introduces readers to a fresh, new perspective ...
Norse Mythology for Bostonians is a humorous retelling of the trials and tribulations of Odin, Thor, and the other Norse gods. Regarded as an authentic, new "Edda" (as the original Icelandic source material is called), the main narrative is told i...
"rowdy geirsson reaches out like a draugr from a barrow to pull your leg down a rabbit hole full of plausible but preposterous lunatics and doomed sailors in this very funny neo-faux saga. if you're the type of armchair traveler who would rather carry a drinking horn than the Hitchhiker's Guide-recommended towel, read The Scandinavian Aggressors and follow Geirsson to the land of the midnight sun, troll snot liquor, decapitated mermaids, and doofus viking warriors."
-corwin ericson, author of Swell and Checked Out OK
"an outrageously norse-sensical shaggy dog story. rowdy geirsson is a cross between loki and the venerable bede."
-tony williams, author of Nutcase and Hawthorn City
"funny as hell! kind of like Rolling Stone for the lfablt crowd."
-scott oden, author of A Gathering of Ravens and Twilight of the Gods
"i had a very good, and by good i mean weird but in a good way, time reading rowdy's travel guide to parallel scandinavia. it's as if early louis theroux was making a documentary about almost, but not quite, somewhat entirely successful modern vikings while the authors of Illuminatus! nodded in approval and now I need to lie down. Also, beer."
-bjrn larssen, author of Children and Why Odin Drinks
"not only is rowdy's writing superb, but the book delivers on its promise, providing a colorful and entertaining look into the life of a man searching for something more and finding it-maybe-in the cold north of modern day scandinavia. this book was a stand out for me. i loved its creativity, its storytelling, its stick-in-your-craw characters, and its ability to make me laugh...if you love vikings and offbeat humor, and aren't afraid to stretch your imagination, you should give it a try."
-eric schumacher, author of the Hakon's Saga and Olaf's Saga trilogies
"the scandinavian aggressors is the visionary account of a silenced movement that shocked the nine worlds. a thoroughly scandifuturistic chronicle of neo-norse extravaganza, so burlesque and baudrillardian that you will thoroughly doubt your own sanity by the end of it. rowdy's most shocking exposition of boreal apocrypha yet."
-eirik storesund, errant old norse philologist and host of the Brute Norse podcast
"as a big fan of norse mythology and viking history, i found rowdy's book as comfortable as an old bathory t-shirt and as surprising as a perverted troll. mermaid beheadings, enslaved leprechauns, and other unstable tales of mead-soaked adventure await! i had a grin from ear to ear reading this whole damn thing."
-matt smith, creator of Barbarian Lord and illustrator of Hellboy: The Bones of Giants
"in the satirical tradition of more's Utopia and Swift's Gulliver's Tr...
