It also includes an introduction, a full set of explanatory notes, a vocabulary list, and an index.The Prologue is a euhemerized Christian account of the origins of Nordic mythology: the Nordic gods are described as human Trojan warriors who left Troy after the fall of that city and who settled in northern Europe, where they were accepted as divine kings because of their superior culture and technology. The Prose Edda forms the basis of what the world knows as Norse mythology, and contains legends of the creation of the cosmos and the best-known stories of Odin, Thor, and the other gods.The Prose Edda was originally referred to as simply the Edda, but was later called the Prose Edda to distinguish it from the Poetic Edda, a collection of anonymous poetry from earlier traditional sources compiled around the same time.This version contains an English version of the Foreword the Fooling of Gylfe, the Afterword Brage's talk, the Afterword to Brage's Talk, and the Important Passages in the Poetical Diction (Skldskaparml). The Younger Edda, also known as Snorre's Edda, or the Prose Edda, is a collection of Old Norse poems preserved by Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241). ![]() ![]() ![]() The time for them to grow up comes all too quickly. They were so charming and fresh that the reader won't grow tired of them after only two books. The same could be said for the characters.

Hogwarts is an overwhelming place, there are lots of secrets that are yet to be revealed even now that the seventh book is complete. It is otherwise the same people doing the same things in the same setting. The only thing that changed is the mystery that has to be solved.

An eight-day, nearly 1,200-mile midsummer journey brought them to La Paz, just short of the tip of Baja. His vehicle, a gray Studebaker truck named “Diamondback Rattler,” could easily be the protagonist since the narrative centers around multiple repairs due to challenging road conditions. In “An Auto Odyssey Through Darkest Baja,” he guides the reader through a hot and torturous trip with a friend from Los Angeles to Mexico. Portis left his promising journalism career to write novels and essays instead. Then, as rioting begins, “it took four hours to stop, and then just short of gunfire,” he writes, adding that Police Chief Jamie Moore held back gun use for crowd control. In “How the Night Exploded into Terror,” Portis describes an incident where The Ku Klux Klan met, followed by the bombing of the Gaston Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama, headquarters of Black leaders. His reporting was notable for details, such as in his coverage of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.

Some contemporaries compared him with essayist Charles Lamb, the quieter member of the circle of Wordsworth and Coleridge. His personality and writing style radiated a genteel whimsicality that is no longer in favor and has not survived alongside the tougher, funnier stuff of Mark Twain’s. If anything, they considered Stowe an interesting figure of the past but Warner a modern man. National magazine writers of the 1870s assigned to visit Hartford described the homes and careers of all three. When he lived on Hawthorn Street in Hartford, and later on Forest Street in the heart of Nook Farm, he was considered on a par with his great neighbors, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The shelf of Charles Dudley Warner’s books stands at 15 volumes, but like many works by the triple-named writers of the Victorian era, they are largely unread today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Bellevue employee wearing hospital scrubs tried to get the attention of passersby while she shoved the young man to get off the bike. “Get off me!
