Ragnarok is the story of the end of the world. It is a tale of the destruction of life on this planet and the end of the gods themselves: what more relevant myth could any modern writer choose? As the bombs rain down in the Second World War, one young girl is evacuated to the English countryside. She is struggling to make sense of her new wartime life. Then she is given a copy of Asgard and the Gods - a book of ancient Norse myths - and her inner and outer worlds are transformed. War, natural disaster, reckless gods and the destruction of life on this planet are just some of the threads that A.S. Byatt weaves into this most timely of books. Just as Wagner borrowed from this dramatic Norse saga for the climax of the Ring Cycle, so A.S. Byatt reinvents it for our time in all its intensity and glory. Linguistically stunning and imaginatively abundant, this is a landmark piece of storytelling from one of the world's truly great writers.

Les poèmes mythologiques et héroïques, la version en prose de Snorri Sturluson (le plus grand écrivain et mythographe islandais du Moyen-Âge, 1178-1241) de l’Edda sont les sources littéraires de cette étude mythologique. Chaque dieu est présenté avec ses attributs et ses fonctions à la faveur des textes qui le concernent et des mythes qui s’y rattachent sans faire l’impasse sur les incertitudes et les doutes de la recherche passée et actuelle. S’étendant sur 2 500 ans et sur un espace vivifié par les Vikings qui va du Groenland à Constantinople, du Nord de la Suède à Gibraltar, ce corpus de croyances païennes offre naturellement de singulières distorsions et présente cependant de confondantes continuités thématiques. À l’aide de l’archéologie, l’histoire, la littérature, l’onomastique et la linguistique, entre autres sciences, cet ouvrage fait non seulement le point sur les connaissances actuelles, mais encore bat en brèche certaines interprétations traditionnelles qui voudraient privilégier le côté martial alors que la civilisation où s’est développée cette mythologie a pour trait fondamental la troisième fonction dumézilienne.
