A dazzling book of short stories from one of modern fiction's greatest and most imaginative writers.

In this dazzling, illustrated edition of the instant classic that has sold more than a million copies, award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold brings Neil Gaiman's bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world to life.Bursting off the page with breathtaking, full-color art are tales of fierce battles with giants, storied quests for knowledge, and the gods in Asgard: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong, yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki-son of a giant-blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that takes us from the genesis of the legendary nine worlds to Ragnorak, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time. Through his epic storytelling and Pinfold's enthralling images, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, breathing vivid life into these long-ago myths."Who else but Neil Gaiman could become an accomplice of the gods, using the sorcery of words to make their stories new?" -Maria Tatar, translator and editor of The Annotated Brothers Grimm"Gaiman brings rakish mischief and severe glamour to the Norse canon." -The New Yorker"Remarkable. . . . Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos." -Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic"A lively, funny and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters)." -Petra Mayer, NP

Tintenschwarze Nacht liegt über dem einsamen Herrenhaus, in dessen Eingeweiden der Autor seine Prosa mit hastender Feder aufs Pergament zu bannen sucht. Hohe Literatur ist es, wonach er strebt, realistisch und wahrhaftig. Die Geschichte von einer Jungfrau in weißem Gewand, von Monstren, die im Dunkeln lauern, von uralter Erbschuld und riskanter Liebe... Doch die Alltäglichkeiten des Lebens - sprechende Raben, sein verschollener Zwilling und Duelle bis zum Tod - unterbrechen den wack'ren Schreiber Mal ums Mal. Sollte er sich doch lieber der Phantastik zuwenden? Diese Kurzgeschichte von Neil Gaiman, einem der größten phantastischen Erzähler unserer Zeit, wirft einen augenzwinkernden Blick auf sein eigenes Schaffen. Shane Oakleys von Mignola und Wrightson inspiriertes Artwork setzt gekonnt einen Kontrapunkt zu Gaimans Humor und verleiht dieser Horror-Satire einen unwiderstehlich düsteren Sog.

Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home. Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
