Download or read book NORTHLAND HEROES The Illustrated Sagas of Frithiof and Beowulf in an easy to read format for young people written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated volume contains two Viking, or Norse, sagas rewritten especially for older children and young adults presented in an easy-to-read novella format. Herein are the stories of Frithiof and the epic Beowulf. These stories are from a time when men were knighted for achieving great feats, and great their feats were. A time when the successful application of brain and brawn gained a man a high standing in his community and possibly even higher office in the land. The first retelling, "The Story of Frithiof" is based upon Holcomb's translation of Bishop Tegnér's poem, "The Saga of Frithiof" which charts Frithiof’s and Ingeborg’s undying love for each other and the lengths Frithiof had to go to, to eventually win her hand. If ever a story was to teach the young about perseverance and endurance, this is it. The second retelling, that of the epic Beowulf, has also been rewritten in an easy reading novella format. It follows the life of Beowulf, his rites of passage and his maturing from boy to man through facing and overcoming adversity and evil through facing up to and defeating the evil dragon Grendel. This fictional saga was written in England, but is set in Scandinavia. It has variously been dated to between the 8th and the early 11th centuries. It is our hope the records of these lives nobly lived are an inspiration to noble living in today’s youth. With the hope that the courage, truth, endurance, reverence, and patriotism shown by these heroes of the Northland will arouse interest and result in emulation. 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale from this book will be donated to Charities. ============= KEYWORDS: folklore, fairy, Tales, children, stories, bedtime, fables, illustrated, myths, legends, Frithjof, Ingeborg, king, death, expulsion, banishment, Ingeborg, daughter, Halfdan, Helgi, Ring, Baldrshagi, marry, Hilding, tribute, Baldr, balder, Beli, Sogn, Ringerike, Ring, foster-brother, foster-father, tradition, Víkingsson, perseverance, courage, truth, endurance, reverence, patriotism, Beowulf, Hrothgar, Grendel, dragon, mother, evil, Heorot, battle, sword, warriors, lair, attack, Wiglaf, hall, funeral, Geatsland, hero, celebrate, mortally wounded, Earnanæs, treasure, Hrunting, monster, wounded, Unferth, barrow, burial, night, lake, sea, boat, longship, grief-stricken, fire-breathing, violent, brotherhood, protagonist, revenge, terrorized, terrorise,

Download or read book Nordic Sagas as Children s Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines translations of Icelandic sagas and the Victorian and Edwardian children's literature they inspired, some of which are canonical while others are forgotten. It covers authors like William Morris, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Thomas Gray, Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, W.H. Auden, John Greenleef Whittier and more. In lavish volumes and modest schoolbooks, British and American writers claimed Nordic heritage and explored Nordic traditions. The sagas offered a rich and wide-ranging source for these authors: Volsunga saga's Sigurd the dragon slayer; King Olaf's saga of opposing Nordic Gods and Christianity; Frithiof's model of headstrong youth beset with unfair opposition and lost love. Grettir and Njal tell of men who accepted fate and met conflict and enemies unflinchingly; Aslaug, Gudrida, Hallberga and Hervar exerted remarkable influence; and Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky provided Americans with a Nordic heritage of discovery.

Download or read book The Kalevala Volume II written by John Martin Crawford and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeper and more esoteric meaning of the Kalevala, however, points to a contest between Light and Darkness, Good and Evil; the Finns representing the Light and the Good, and the Lapps, the Darkness and the Evil. Like the Niebelungs, the heroes of the Finns woo for brides the beauteous maidens of the North; and the similarity is rendered still more striking by their frequent inroads into the country of the Lapps, in order to possess themselves of the envied treasure of Lapland, the mysterious Sampo, evidently the Golden Fleece of the Argonautic expedition. Curiously enough public opinion is often expressed in the runes, in the words of an infant; often too the unexpected is introduced after the manner of the Greek dramas, by a young child, or an old man.
