Old Norse For Modern Times Summary

Old Norse For Modern Times by Ian Stuart Sharpe

Never be lost for words again...with this book of lost words. Have you ever wanted to wield the silver tongue of Loki, or to hammer home your point like a Thundergod? Old Norse is the language of legends and the stuff of sagas, the inspiration for Tolkien and Marvel, for award-winning manga and epic videogames. It is the language of cleverly crafted kennings, blood-curdling curses, and pithy retorts to RagnarOEk. Old Norse for Modern Times gives you the perfect phrase for every contemporary situation-from memorable movie quotes (We're going to need a bigger boat. THurfa munu vEr skip stAErra) to battle-cries to yell on Discord (Do I look to be in a gaming mood? SYnisk THEr ek vera I skapi til leika?), from mead hall musings (This drink, I like it! ANOTHER! LIkar mEr drykkr THessi! ANNAN!) to tried-and-tested pickup lines (Nice tattoo! Fagrt er hUDflUriD). With over 500 phrases inside (plus the chance to add your own!) it is the perfect guide for Vikings fans, whether they are re-enactors, role-players, or simply in love with Ragnar.

About Ian Stuart Sharpe

Ian Stuart Sharpe is the CEO of a tech start up. As a child he discovered his love of books, sci-fi and sagas: devouring the works of Douglas Adams, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, and George MacDonald Fraser alongside Snorri Sturluson and Sigvat the Skald. He once won a prize at school for Outstanding Progress and chose a dictionary as his reward, secretly wishing it had been an Old Norse phrasebook. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
