Magic and myth inhabit these chapters in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. These stories, set in Norway's majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.

Valkyries: the female supernatural beings that choose who dies and who lives on the battlefield. They protect some, but guide spears, arrows, and sword blades into the bodies of others.

Rather than their death being futile, it is their destiny and good fortune, determined by divine beings.

Due uomini condividono lo stesso nome, Asle. Uno è un uomo di successo, l’altro alza il gomito troppo spesso. Viene da pensare che siano la stessa persona, eppure a volte si incontrano e si parlano. Il tempo e lo spazio li seguono come due rette che a volte sembrano intersecarsi, su quella che potrebbe essere la costa sudoccidentale della Norvegia, tra i ghiacci, il mare scuro e i fiordi. Tra amori fugaci, alcool, gruppi rock e sigarette, i due Asle si incontrano per la prima volta. Si assomigliano, si vestono allo stesso modo ed entrambi vogliono fare i pittori.

Alba all'ultimo convegno a cui partecipa. Linguista, docente universitaria, correttrice di bozze, Alba è un'esperta - e un'amante - delle parole, e il tema delle lingue in pericolo di estinzione le sta a cuore, dal momento che l'islandese ne fa parte. Per questo interviene in conferenze in tutto il mondo, il che per lei, abitante di un'isola a nord del Circolo polare artico, significa per forza salire su un aereo. Di ritorno dal convegno, Alba fa una riflessione: per compensare la sua impronta di carbonio di quell'anno, dovrebbe piantare cinquemilaseicento alberi.
