When you say Thor, the most common reaction is the Marvel superhero. Yeah, that one.
But Thor is much more than that. He is a God, and there are multiple aspects of his image, how he came into being, where he sits in the hierarchy, and over a period of time how he evolved from a pagan God to a symbol of national/cultural identity.
I did read the Edda earlier and that was one piece of work but this book puts the whole narrative around Thor and goes deep into how the whole psyche of a God to superhero evolved.
Do read if you want to understand the myth behind the Marvel superhero.
Love
