Feature
★Trolls, elves, magic, and unexpected creatures - the ultimate book on Icelandic lore, with gorgeous illustrations by the author.
Description
In this book the author recounts the stories recorded in medieval manuscripts or told around the fire for generations, stories both famous and little known. He talks of bizarre creatures, such as the King of Bears, the Seal-Man and the Horse Demon, whose hooves and ears are reversed, but also of trolls and elves. And he illustrates these stories with his own photographs and pictures. A rich, lively volume on a fascinating topic, ideal for both the connoisseur and the beginner.
Author
Roberto Pagani was born in Cremona in 1990. In 2014 he moved to Iceland, and the following year earned his degree in Medieval Icelandic Studies at the Icelandic University in Reykjavik, where he is now a lecturer and postgraduate researcher in Icelandic Linguistics and Paleography. Since 2016 he has been teaching Icelandic Medieval Manuscripts, Italian grammar and literature, and History of Italian Opera.
As eclectic as the Icelandic soul, he is also a tour guide, a translator, and blogger.
