Product description

--- The most shocking book in the history of archery ---If you want to know the truth, you must read his book. Straight forward, clear-cut, unbending. Greek or Roman mythology, legends, folk tales, trivial stories, conspiracy theories, common knowledge, scientific discoveries, old superstitions - the author critically evaluates their content and does not shy away from challenging taboos - or to unmask cherished values. Carefully researched, brilliantly analyzed, well-argued, convincing. A Cult Book of Archery History, not only for archers, but for all interested in search of the inspirational source of lies, hoaxes or the treasure box of the spin doctors. Satire at its best, entertaining and educational.When Roger Aschams work -Toxophilus- the first English book on archery, was the beginning, then this book closes the lid.For those who want to impress with wit, irony and confidence in debates and disputes on myths, legends and folktales and similar pseudo-cultural outpourings, this book is the ideal crib sheet and knowledge base.

Jede:r von uns hat ihren/seinen liebsten Märchenkreis, nicht wahr? Den beiden Norwegern Peter Christen Asbjørnsen und Jørgen Moe ist es zu verdanken, dass im 19. Jahrhundert nach Vorbild der Brüder Grimm ein unwahrscheinlich großer Märchenschatz zusammengetragen und veröffentlicht wurde. Die Nationalromantische Phase hatte auch die Norweger:innen ergriffen und nur zu recht. Als Kenner:in der 'deutschen' Märchentexte wird man hier viele Parallelen entdecken - typische Anfangs- und Endfloskeln, magische Wesen, mehrgliedrige Kämpfe, christliche Elemente und eine manchmal etwas absurd erscheinende Zahlensymbolik.
Wenn ihr beim Thema Norwegen vor allem an dichte Wälder, Fjorde, wortkarge Menschen und Trolle denkt, dann sind das Elemente, die bereits in solchen, aus dem Mittelalter stammenden Texten tradiert werden. Literatur- und kulturhistorische Perspektiven und Sichtweisen lohnen hier, zur Anwendung gebracht zu werden.
This story jumps on the current mythology trend (see Madeline Miller's books!) and is a loose retelling of an old British murder ballad called The Twa Sisters .
It is set in an ancient British kingdom abandoned by the Romans and in constant fear of attack by the Saxons. Three Sisters are trying to come to terms with their identity and their own magic, which is threatened by the advent of Christianity. The focus is set on the different paths the sisters decide to take and the tragedies that result thereof.
Of the three sisters Keyne is my favorite - I rooted for her all through the plot. Who is yours?!
