Résumé

Understanding Valhalla - not romanticizing it. This book takes you on a journey to the iconic "Hall of the Fallen" in Norse mythology: to Asgard, to Odin, the Valkyries, and the Einherjar - and shows how battle, celebration, and community shape the image of Valhalla. What it's about: Based on the Edda sources, motifs, places, and figures are explored narratively - from the hall's shield roof to Ragnarök.
The volume combines clear presentation with well-founded classification and avoids romantic simplifications. Clear access to Valhalla, Einherjar, Valkyries, Freyja/Fólkvangr, and Ragnarök Source context: Edda, skaldic poetry, sagas - explained in an understandable way Cultural history: Afterlife from the Middle Ages to modern times (art, literature, pop culture) For beginners & advanced learners: precise, narrative, without esotericism Valhalla appears here as a mirror of a society that accepts strength only in form and form only in community.
Anyone who wants to explore the Norse world beyond clichés will find in this book a compact, clever, and impressive presentation - with all the terms that readers are really looking for: Norse mythology, Vikings, Edda, Asgard, Valkyries, Ragnarök.
