內容簡介

The Caldecott medal-winning d'Aulaires once again captivate their young audience with this beautifully illustrated introduction to Norse legends， telling stories of Odin the All-father， Thor the Thunder-god and the theft of his hammer， Loki the mischievous god of the Jotun Race， and Ragnarokk， the destiny of the gods. Children meet Bragi， the god of poetry， and the famous Valkyrie maidens， among other gods， goddesses， heroes， and giants. Illustrations throughout depict the wondrous other world of Norse folklore and its fantastical Northern landscape.

作者簡介

Ingri Mortenson and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire met at art school in Munich in 1921. Edgar’s father was a noted Italian portrait painter, his mother a Parisian. Ingri, the youngest of five children, traced her lineage back to the Viking kings.

The couple married in Norway, then moved to Paris. As Bohemian artists, they often talked about emigrating to America. “The enormous continent with all its possibilities and grandeur caught our imagination,” Edgar later recalled.

A small payment from a bus accident provided the means. Edgar sailed alone to New York where he earned enough by illustrating books to buy passage for his wife. Once there, Ingri painted portraits and hosted modest dinner parties. The head librarian of the New York Public Library’s juvenile department attended one of those. Why, she asked, didn’t they create picture books for children?

The d’Aulaires published their first children’s book in 1931. Next came three books steeped in the Scandinavian folklore of Ingri’s childhood. Then the couple turned their talents to the history of their new country. The result was a series of beautifully illustrated books about American heroes, one of which, Abraham Lincoln, won the d’Aulaires the American Library Association’s Caldecott Medal. Finally they turned to the realm of myths.

The d’Aulaires worked as a team on both art and text throughout their joint career. Originally, they used stone lithography for their illustrations. A single four-color illustration required four slabs of Bavarian limestone that weighed up to two hundred pounds apiece. The technique gave their illustrations an uncanny hand-drawn vibrancy. When, in the early 1960s, this process became too expensive, the d’Aulaires switched to acetate sheets which closely approximated the texture of lithographic stone.

In their nearly five-decade career, the d’Aulaires received high critical acclaim for their distinguished contributions to children’s literature. They were working on a new book when Ingri died in 1980 at the age of seventy-five. Edgar continued working until he died in 1985 at the age of eighty-six.

Michael Chabon is the author of several books, including The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Klay, The Yiddish Policeman’s Union, Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son and, most recently, Telegraph Avenue.,,,,

精彩書評

"…a mythological tour de force."
— The New York Times

"Out of print for many years， Norse Gods and Giants has been very handsomely reissued by the The New York Review Children’s Collection and retitled D’Aulaire’s Book of Norse Myths. Featuring a sturdy sewn binding， the book arguably represents the pinnacle of the d’Aulaires’ achievement as storytellers and artists….the prose seems livelier and more robust in the Norse myths than in the Greek…Their retelling of the Greek myths for children had to pull its punches somewhat….but since sex doesn't feature as prominently in Norse mythology， this book is able to stay scrupulously faithful to the Edda and still maintain its PG rating. But not to worry： there’s still a lot of drinking， fighting and bad behavior， particularly on the part of fiery Thor， who is forever whacking frost giants on the head with his hammer， and the highly entertaining Loki， who is one of the most complicated and devious characters in anybody’s mythology， anywhere. Loki is the Bart Simpson of Norse mythology， forever pulling pranks， forever getting caught and forever talking his way out of the consequences…"
— The New York Times Book Review

"[These] works， especially the books of Norse and Greek myths， were and remain crucial to me， and now to my own children. The interest in mythology that was kindled by those two books has endured throughout my life， and has directly influenced my own writing in countless ways…The Norse book was always my favorite， though. I must have read it a dozen times at least by the time I was nine or ten."
— Michael Chabon

人類許多偉大的創造，大都經過漫長歲月的發展的過程，並聚閤無數人的心力，時刻成長、壯大，圖書也不例外。以我們中國為例，它至少已有三韆五百年以上的發展曆史，其間人們所投入的智慧與勞力，更無與倫比。圖書在迭次的創造改進，纔有今天的麵貌。大體來說，史曆上，除瞭某些為特殊目的所製作的圖書之外，書籍的發展，略有脈絡可尋。最早人們的交往，在彼此示意之時，可能隻藉手勢或音量做為媒介。其後，從經驗的纍積，進而確定一些固定的音節，來代錶某種特定的意義，於是人類跨齣瞭有聲無言的時代，邁入到有言無文的社會。

有瞭語言，人類往往藉助於記憶力，把聽到的話，牢牢記住，再對彆人復述齣來；或將心中的理想，個人的經驗，藉語言加以傳播。這種目的及辦法，與日後圖書的功能相近，因此，可以稱之為口傳的活書。人類的記憶到底有限，有時更會走樣，口傳的活書，必然有許多缺陷。於是，聰明的人類起而發明瞭許多幫助記憶的方法，其中最富代錶性的便是結繩。以結繩的大小、鬆緊、多寡及塗上不同顔色等方式，來錶示各種不同的意義，我們可稱之為繩書。

帛是絲織物，輕軟平滑，易於著墨，幅的長短寬窄可以根據文字的多少來剪裁，而且可隨意摺疊或捲起，攜帶方便，可以彌補簡牘。古代寫本書在紙發明初期，紙書並未完全取代簡牘與縑帛圖書，而是三者並用。此外，還有宋至清代的印本圖書到現代的電子書。
