Geschichte
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales continue to exert the same pull over the imagination and emotions as they did when he first read them to his children in the 1880s. Written with inspired poetic intensity and sudden flowerings of the matchless wit for which he is so well remembered, the stories combine the wisdom of parables with the impact of drama.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

In the wealthy and vain hedonist Dorian Gray, London painter Basil Hallward has found his muse. Only when the portrait of Dorian begins to age, while the man himself remains untouched by time, do they realize they may have made a deal with the devil. Oscar Wilde’s only novel takes a witty, philosophical, and harrowing look at our obsession with youth and the price we pay for it.

Stephen Fry believes that if you can speak and read English, you can write poetry. But it is no fun if you don't know where to start or have been led to believe that anything goes. Stephen, who has long written poems, and indeed has written long poems, for his own private pleasure, invites you to discover the incomparable delights of metre, rhyme and verse forms.

Helden: Monster und Sterbliche
Helden: Monster und Sterbliche, Questen und Abenteuer
Heroes ist das zweite Buch zur Klassische Mythologie von Stephen Fry. Das erste Teil hab ich geliebt und wann ich mitbekommen hab das es jetzt noch ein Teil gibt habe ich mich das sofort bei Audible das Hörbuch gekauft und das hat mich den schlaff letzte Nacht geraubt.
In dieses Buch geht es um die Klassischen Helden Bellerophon, Theseus, Heracles, Perseus , Jason, Atalanta, Orpheus und Ödipus die alle Sterbliche sind (Keine Götter wie so manch einer im ersten Teil) und treffen auf die Monster die diese bekämpfen: die Hydras, der Sphinx, Harpyien , Gorgons, und der Minotaur.
Beim ersten Teil hab ich Heracles/Hercules sehr vermisst, aber jetzt ist er dabei!
Seine Vorlesung ist wie immer sehr schön, aber ich habe mich auch schon vor Jahren in seine stimme (und ein bisschen in Ihm) verliebt, bin da also nicht Objektiv. Er ist manchmal Ernst, manchmal Gelehrsam ohne zu irritieren und auch ab und zu mal richtig Camp.
Das Ganze ist auch durchwachsen von Britischen Humor.
Was unser einer auch noch mal klar gemacht wird ist wo Marvel die Superhelden herhat.
Stephen Fry ist in Deutschland ziemlich unbekannt soweit mir bekannt, aber er ist weltberühmt in Groß Britannien als Komiker, Quizmaster, Schauspieler und als Schriftsteller. Er ist ein sehr beliebter Hörbuchvorleser, Seine Vorlesung von Harry Potter ist legendär und Hochgepriesen.
Das erste teil
[[ASIN:B077K1FYNY Mythos]]
Ich hab inzwischen Erfahren das noch ein Teil 3 in produktion ist, Troja.

Great Story & great narration
In this audiobook, you learn more about the life of Herakles, Bellerophon, Atalanta, Oedipus, and Jason (I hope I forgot nobody.)
Stephen Fry's narration lets you feel all the ups and highs the heroes are going through.
More than once I hoped for a different ending because the heroes had to endure so much to get there.
I like that Stephen Fry also shows some correlation to today's life and gives you something to think about.
For me, it was an audiobook I couldn't stop listening to.
There is just one thing I have to criticize: The chapters have no titles like in the audiobook Mythology. It would be great if the chapters would be at least named after the heroes.

Gripping trip to mythical times
Expectations were high after hearing "Mythos", but Stephen Fry managed again to keep my ear stuck to the audio book and never wanting to press the stop button. "His" stories are highly entertaining, instructive and gripping. They can be hilarious or terribly sad, depending on the plot. They're everything but boring and I am so grateful that Stephen Fry brought ancient myth down to us in such an easily abordable way. Stay on these roads, Mr. Fry, pleeease...
