About the book
Before the world took shape, there was Ginnungagap – the vast primordial void between the realms of fire and frost.
In this boundless emptiness the primeval giant Ymir arose, and with his fall began the creation of the world. From flesh, blood, and bone, the sons of Bor shaped earth, sea, mountains, and sky. Thus was laid the foundation for Midgard, Asgard, and the other realms bound together by the world tree Yggdrasil.
Ginnungagap – On the Genesis and Doom of the Norse World is a magnificent and poetic retelling of Norse cosmology. The tale carries the reader through the strife between the Æsir and the Vanir, Thor's mighty feats, Loki's cunning, Baldr's fate, and the dark signs that foretell the end of the world.
Familiar myths from the Old Norse sources are woven together into a richer and more coherent epic work. Where the old tales leave gaps, bridges are built that give the world of the gods greater depth, drama, and unity.
This is the story of how the world was created, how the gods fought to preserve it, and how even the mightiest powers must in the end bow before the web of fate and the day of Ragnarok.
