Sagnene om de nordiske guder og helte er levende og farverige beretninger om elskov og død, tapperhed og svaghed. De er blevet fortalt og genfortalt, læst og genlæst gennem generationer. Her er udvalgt 28 af de bedste sagn - fra Jordens skabelse til Ragnarok, om guderne Tor og Odin, Loke og Balder og helten Regnar Lodbrog og hans sønner.

Designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-earth The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth.

"In the early 1900s, a curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town to study faerie folklore, where she discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love. Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on dryadology, the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encylopedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party--much less get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to that of friends or lovers. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hransvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: the dashing and insufferably handsome Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of her research, and utterly confound and frustrate Emily. But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones--the most elusive of all faeries--lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all--her own heart"--

They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon . . .Written for J.R.R. Tolkiens own children, The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937. With a beautiful cover design, a handful of black white drawings and two maps by the author himself, the book became an instant success and was reprinted shortly afterwards with five color plates.Tolkiens own selection of finished paintings and drawings have become inseparable from his text, adorning editions of The Hobbit for more than 85 years.

Fire et halvt århundrede efter bliver det fundet, og romanen om Bisnaga – Sejrens by kan fortælles.Den historie begynder, da alle mændene i den niårige Pampa Kampanas landsby er blevet dræbt i et ligegyldigt slag, og den lille pige magtesløs må se til, mens hendes mor, og alle de kvinder hun kender, træder syngende ind i deres mænds ligbål og lader sig brænde op. Kort efter oplever den sønderknuste pige et guddommeligt møde, der vil ændre historiens gang. Hun bliver en mægtig gudindes redskab og påtager sig derved en gigantisk opgave: at give kvinder magt, rettigheder og selvbestemmelse i et patriarkalsk samfund.

In her late-twenties, feeling utterly overwhelmed by the pace of modern city life, Rosie Steer found solace in the traditions she had been brought up with, influenced by her Scottish roots, that celebrated nature and observed the small steady shifts in the seasons. The Celtic Wheel of the year is an ancient seasonal cycle that aligns with solar events - the solstices and equinoxes - and their rough midpoints. For each mini-season, Rosie shares nature notes for what we can look out for as the days get warmer or cooler, the nights longer or shorter, alongside activities, things to make, flowers or fruit to forage, seasonal recipes to enjoy and a modern take on the traditional celebrations. By slowing down and paying attention to the ebbs and flows of nature, we can find moments of calm whenever we need them.
