Download or read book NORTHLAND HEROES - The Illustrated Sagas of Frithiof and Beowulf in an easy to read format for young people written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated volume contains two Viking, or Norse, sagas rewritten especially for older children and young adults presented in an easy-to-read novella format. Herein are the stories of Frithiof and the epic Beowulf. These stories are from a time when men were knighted for achieving great feats, and great their feats were. A time when the successful application of brain and brawn gained a man a high standing in his community and possibly even higher office in the land. The first retelling, "The Story of Frithiof" is based upon Holcomb's translation of Bishop Tegnér's poem, "The Saga of Frithiof" which charts Frithiof’s and Ingeborg’s undying love for each other and the lengths Frithiof had to go to, to eventually win her hand. If ever a story was to teach the young about perseverance and endurance, this is it. The second retelling, that of the epic Beowulf, has also been rewritten in an easy reading novella format. It follows the life of Beowulf, his rites of passage and his maturing from boy to man through facing and overcoming adversity and evil through facing up to and defeating the evil dragon Grendel. This fictional saga was written in England, but is set in Scandinavia. It has variously been dated to between the 8th and the early 11th centuries. It is our hope the records of these lives nobly lived are an inspiration to noble living in today’s youth. With the hope that the courage, truth, endurance, reverence, and patriotism shown by these heroes of the Northland will arouse interest and result in emulation. 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale from this book will be donated to Charities. ============= KEYWORDS: folklore, fairy, Tales, children, stories, bedtime, fables, illustrated, myths, legends, Frithjof, Ingeborg, king, death, expulsion, banishment, Ingeborg, daughter, Halfdan, Helgi, Ring, Baldrshagi, marry, Hilding, tribute, Baldr, balder, Beli, Sogn, Ringerike, Ring, foster-brother, foster-father, tradition, Víkingsson, perseverance, courage, truth, endurance, reverence, patriotism, Beowulf, Hrothgar, Grendel, dragon, mother, evil, Heorot, battle, sword, warriors, lair, attack, Wiglaf, hall, funeral, Geatsland, hero, celebrate, mortally wounded, Earnanæs, treasure, Hrunting, monster, wounded, Unferth, barrow, burial, night, lake, sea, boat, longship, grief-stricken, fire-breathing, violent, brotherhood, protagonist, revenge, terrorized, terrorise,

Download or read book THE KALEVALA or Land of Heroes - New Improved Edition written by Anon E Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE following translation was undertaken from a desire to lay before the English-speaking people the full treasury of epical beauty, folklore, and mythology comprised in The Kalevala (the Land of Heroes, the national epic of the Finns.) The Kalevala describes Finnish nature very minutely and very beautifully. Grimm says that no poem is to be compared with it in this respect. A deeper and more esoteric meaning of the Kalevala, however, points to a contest between Light and Darkness. The numerous myths of the poem are likewise full of significance and beauty, and the Kalevala should be read between the lines, in order that the full meaning of this great epic may be comprehended. The whole poem is replete with the most fascinating folk-lore about the mysteries of nature, the origin of things, the enigmas of human tears, and, true to the character of a national epic, it represents not only the poetry, but the entire wisdom and accumulated experience of a nation. One of the most notable characteristics of the Finnish mythology is the interdependence among the gods. The Finnish deities, like the ancient gods of Italy and Greece, are generally represented in pairs. They have their individual abodes and are surrounded by their respective families. The Sun and the Moon each have a consort, and sons and daughters. Only two sons of Paeivae appear in The Kalevala, one comes to aid of Wainamoinen in his efforts to destroy the mystic Fire-fish, by throwing from the heavens to the girdle of the hero, a "magic knife, silver-edged, and golden-handled;" the other son, Panu, the Fire-child, brings back to Kalevala the fire that bad been stolen by Louhi, the wicked hostess of Pohyola. 10% of the net profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities.

Download or read book Nordic Sagas as Children's Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines translations of Icelandic sagas and the Victorian and Edwardian children's literature they inspired, some of which are canonical while others are forgotten. It covers authors like William Morris, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Thomas Gray, Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, W.H. Auden, John Greenleef Whittier and more. In lavish volumes and modest schoolbooks, British and American writers claimed Nordic heritage and explored Nordic traditions. The sagas offered a rich and wide-ranging source for these authors: Volsunga saga's Sigurd the dragon slayer; King Olaf's saga of opposing Nordic Gods and Christianity; Frithiof's model of headstrong youth beset with unfair opposition and lost love. Grettir and Njal tell of men who accepted fate and met conflict and enemies unflinchingly; Aslaug, Gudrida, Hallberga and Hervar exerted remarkable influence; and Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky provided Americans with a Nordic heritage of discovery.
