Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman's deft and witty prose emerge the gods 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.  [CHAPTER] start=0 end=657.658776 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 001 [CHAPTER] start=657.658776 end=1075.487347 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 002 [CHAPTER] start=1075.487347 end=1755.794286 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 003 [CHAPTER] start=1755.794286 end=2069.786123 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 004 [CHAPTER] start=2069.786123 end=2350.733062 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 005 [CHAPTER] start=2350.733062 end=4069.120001 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 006 [CHAPTER] start=4069.120001 end=5967.777959999999 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 007 [CHAPTER] start=5967.777959999999 end=7509.420408999999 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 008 [CHAPTER] start=7509.420408999999 end=9057.880817 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 009 [CHAPTER] start=9057.880817 end=11616.600816999999 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 010 [CHAPTER] start=11616.600816999999 end=14150.530612999999 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 011 [CHAPTER] start=14150.530612999999 end=15845.146122999999 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 012 [CHAPTER] start=15845.146122999999 end=16810.475102999997 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 013 [CHAPTER] start=16810.475102999997 end=18530.063673999997 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 014 [CHAPTER] start=18530.063673999997 end=20424.960000999996 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 015 [CHAPTER] start=20424.960000999996 end=21930.187755999996 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 016 [CHAPTER] start=21930.187755999996 end=23404.564898999997 title=Norse Mythology (Unabridged) - 017
