5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent translation of Sturluson's edda, 23 Mar 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Prose Edda: Tales from Norse Mythology (Paperback)
This is an excellent translation of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda. The text is very easy to read; it doesn't seem translated in the least. A big plus is the fact that the book contains both the original names of characters in old Icelandic, and a translation in English. Sturluson is a great writer, and I would recommend this book to anyone who is the least bit interested in the old Norse tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edda at last, 18 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Prose Edda: Tales from Norse Mythology (Paperback)
A must for anyone interested in ancient Norse mythology or the sources for Wagner's Ring Cycle. Very amusing stories written in an accurate, but easy-to-understand style.
