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

鑒於此，他的米蘭時書寫的連續72頁的《哈默手稿》則更見得彌足珍貴。手稿當中包含大量對水力學、天文學、建築學、岩石和化石的闡述文字和手稿草圖。當1994年微軟總裁比爾•蓋茨以3080萬美元的價格購買瞭《哈默手稿》時，傳記作傢麥剋爾•懷特問他為什麼要這樣做，蓋茨苦笑道：“因為我需要它。”並說“《哈默手稿》屬於全世界”。

繩書能傳到遠方，也能長期保存，比起語言，自有某些長處。然而終因其式樣變化有限，無法滿足快速進步中人類社會的需要。於是，人類再著手改進，乃從模仿天性裏，描繪外界形像加以簡化，使之蛻變成為簡單的圖像，再用它來做為意象的符號。這種圖畫，已有文字的雛形，一般人稱之為文字畫。之後，經過再改良演進，漸漸成為定型的象形文字。又經過長時期的發展，終於成就瞭無數的字體，供人們應用。文字的齣現，既為人類文明開拓瞭嶄新境界，也為書奠下堅實的基礎。

達•芬奇一生勤於記錄，寫下瞭數以萬計頁的手稿，而現存的手稿則有5000多頁。在他那捲帙浩繁但疏於整理的手稿裏，達•芬奇就像一個被神秘的欲望激動得左衝右突而最終無所斬獲的孩子。這些經過諸多波摺分散於世界各地的草稿很少注明日期，事實上人們已經習慣於將達•芬奇手稿稱作“含義模糊的紙片”。它不僅包括未寄齣的信件、各式錶格、不同語言的讀書筆記、機械和工程草圖等，而且即使同一張紙上也往往會有其不同研究領域的痕跡，一篇關於光學的文章旁邊可能是一幅人臉素描、一種關於特彆顔料的配製方法或者是關於某篇醫藥配方的論文。
