内容简介

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.

作者简介

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.,,,,

精彩书评

"…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

中国的记言文是在记事文之先发展的。商代甲骨卜辞大部分是些问句，记事的话不多见。两周金文也还多以记言为主。直到战国时代，记事文才有了长足的进展。古代言文大概是合一的，说出的、写下的都可以叫作“辞”。卜辞我们称为“辞”，《尚书》的大部分其实也是“辞”。我们相信这些辞都是当时的“雅言”①，就是当时的官话或普通话。但传到后世，这种官话或普通话却变成了诘屈聱牙的古语了。

有了语言，人类往往借助于记忆力，把听到的话，牢牢记住，再对别人复述出来；或将心中的理想，个人的经验，借语言加以传播。这种目的及办法，与日后图书的功能相近，因此，可以称之为口传的活书。人类的记忆到底有限，有时更会走样，口传的活书，必然有许多缺陷。于是，聪明的人类起而发明了许多帮助记忆的方法，其中最富代表性的便是结绳。以结绳的大小、松紧、多寡及涂上不同颜色等方式，来表示各种不同的意义，我们可称之为绳书。

人类许多伟大的创造，大都经过漫长岁月的发展的过程，并聚合无数人的心力，时刻成长、壮大，图书也不例外。以我们中国为例，它至少已有三千五百年以上的发展历史，其间人们所投入的智慧与劳力，更无与伦比。图书在迭次的创造改进，才有今天的面貌。大体来说，史历上，除了某些为特殊目的所制作的图书之外，书籍的发展，略有脉络可寻。最早人们的交往，在彼此示意之时，可能只借手势或音量做为媒介。其后，从经验的累积，进而确定一些固定的音节，来代表某种特定的意义，于是人类跨出了有声无言的时代，迈入到有言无文的社会。
