Legends of the Deep Forest: Ancient Tales from Europe’s Wild Places (S. J. Kelly Mythology & Legends Series) - Tapa blanda

Legends of the Deep Forest (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Hurn, Raymond Ilustrador. Paperback. Step into the shadows of Europe's ancient forests, where gods walked among the trees and spirits whispered in the darkness. Before the roads and the cities, before the churches and the castles, Europe was a vast and untamed wilderness. A place of towering oaks and impenetrable thickets, of misty glades and hidden valleys. A place where the boundary between the human world and the realm of the supernatural was thin, where every shadow held a possibility and every clearing a potential for enchantment or terror. This was the deep forest, the crucible of myth and legend, the birthplace of the stories that have haunted the European imagination for millennia. Legends of the Deep Forest takes you on an immersive journey into this vanished world. From the dark woods of Scandinavia to the sacred groves of the Celts, from the vast wilderness of the Slavic lands to the enchanted forests of Britain, this book explores the gods, spirits, monsters, and heroes that dwelled in the shadow of the ancient trees. Meet the Green Man, the dying and reborn god of the woodland, and Cernunnos, the antlered lord of the wild hunt. Tremble at the whisper of the Leshy, the shape-shifting guardian of the Slavic woods, and seek the quiet protection of the Metsavana, the old man of the Estonian forest. Venture into the realm of the Sidhe, the fairy folk of the Celtic Otherworld, and brave the lairs of dragons and basilisks. Listen for the spectral thunder of the Wild Hunt as it rides through the night sky, and feel the chill of the black dog's gaze upon your soul. Blending vivid storytelling with historical context and cultural interpretation, this book is not an academic textbook. It is a portal to a world of mystery and wonder, a guided exploration of the ancient landscapes of the European imagination. Rich with atmosphere and emotionally evocative, Legends of the Deep Forest is perfect for readers who love mythology, folklore, ancient history, medieval legends, Viking lore, Celtic traditions, and the dark, atmospheric beauty of the natural world. Whether you are a scholar of myth or a seeker of wonder, this book will transport you to a time when the world was enchanted and the forest was alive with magic. Step into the shadows. The forest is waiting. Are you brave enough to enter? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
