Do the Covers of the Twilight Saga Books look Gothic to you?

I saw my friend the other day with a Twilight saga book, I took a closer look at it and it didn’t have the original picture it had a picture of the cast of the Twilight Movie. I asked her why it has the cast picture, I didn’t like it because the other picture covers look better and original. My other friend told me that she thought that it looked a bit gothic…does it really?

No, they just look stupid and meaningless.

Grettir’s Saga $14.03 A sweeping epic of the Viking Age, Grettir’s Saga follows the life of the outlaw Grettir the Strong as he battles against sorcery, bad luck, and the vengefulness of his enemies. Feared by many, Grettir is a warrior and also a poet and a lover. Unable to resolve the dispute that has outlawed him, he lives outside the bounds of family life and he roams the countryside, ridding Iceland and Norway of berserker warriors, trolls, and the walking dead. The saga presents a poignant story of medieval Icelandic society, combining details of everyday legal disputes with folklore and legend. With its scathing humor, explicit verses, and fantastic monsters, Grettir’s Saga is among the most famous and widely read of Iceland’s epics. In addition to Jesse Byock’s lively new translation, this edition includes extensive maps, genealogies, illustrations, a chronology and glossary, as well as helpful notes, an up-to-date bibliography, and thorough introduction exploring the saga in the context of other works of Icelandic and medieval literature.

The Saga of the Volsungs $14.69 Based on Viking Age poems and composed in thirteenth-century Iceland, The Saga of the Volsungs combines mythology, legend, and sheer human drama in telling of the heroic deeds of Sigurd the dragon slayer, who acquires runic knowledge from one of Odin’s Valkyries.

In his illuminating Introduction Jesse L. Byock links the historical Huns, Burgundians, and Goths with the extraordinary events of this Icelandic saga. With its ill-fated Rhinegold, the sword reforged, and the magic ring of power, the saga resembles the Nibelungenlied and has been a primary source for such fantasy writers as J. R. R. Tolkien and for Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle.

Laxdaela Saga $12.19 As in the case with many other Icelanders’ sagas, the author of Laxdaela is unknown, but believed to have been composed in the middle of the thirteenth century. The tale has often been regarded as curiously feminine and speculated to have been written by a woman. The Laxdaela Saga, a story of the men and women of the Salmon River valley, is of an Icelandic family that relates the history of some five or six generations of prominent individuals descended from emigrant Norwegian chieftains, tracing the disastrous removal of many lives during the early Icelandic Commonwealth period. The years prior to Iceland’s annexation by Norway in 1262, were a time of settlement, Christianization, and national independence. The saga begins with two branches of the family: those of Unn the Deep-Minded and Bjorn the Easterner, whose lines produce the heroic Kjartan and fiery protagonist, Gudrun. A mixture of historical fact, epic, myth, anachronism, romance, and literary inventions, this saga is a dramatization of the circumstances surrounding a blood-feud between two sides of a great dynasty.

The Saga of Rex $15.51 The adorable little fox named Rex is plucked from his home world by a mysterious spaceship and transported to the arcane world of Edernia, where he meets Aven, an enigmatic biomorph with a flying saucer.

A story that is in turn adventurous, heroic, tragic, romantic and wonderfully surprising, THE SAGA OF REX perfectly captures a vision of whimsy and wonder that will delight young and old. MICHEL GAGNE’S lush and colorful illustrations, combined with cinematic storytelling, have earned THE SAGA OF REX a worldwide following. For the first time, the complete and unabridged tale originally serialized over a period of seven years in the award-winning anthology FLIGHT is now available in all its glory. GAGNE’S work on THE SAGA OF REX was nominated twice for the Joe Shuster Award in the best writer/artist category.

The Laxdaela Saga $15.66 The Laxdla saga is an Icelandic saga (story) of the men and women of the Salmon River valley involving the clan of Laxrdalur. It is one of the most important Icelandic sagas, originally written in Old Icelandic; probably sometime around the year 1245 AD. It is noted for its mention of the first known Norseman in the Varangian Guard: the Icelander Bolli Bollason. An amalgam of historical fact, myth, epic, romance, anachronism, and literary invention, the Laxdaela Saga is, in essence, a dramatization of the circumstances surrounding a blood-feud between two sides of a great dynasty; in its second and decisive portion, it treats a love triangle that re-ignites the feud and its adjoining intrigues. Gurn svfursdttir, who is famous for her beauty is our protagonist. Courted by the two foster-brothers Kjartan lafsson and Bolli orleiksson. Gurn preferred Kjartan, but she gave herself to Bolli, because of a false rumour that Kjartan was engaged to Ingibjrg, the sister of King lafur Tryggvason. The two foster-brothers engaged in hostilities which ended with Bolli killing Kjartan, and Bolli being killed by Kjartan’s kinsmen. The story is carried forward by the mysterious workings of fate, symbolized by the prophetic dreams of Gudrun. Noted for its detached narrative style and ornately-patterned structure, the Laxdaela Saga remains a highly influential work of Scandinavian literature and is considered an outstanding example of medieval prose romance.

Cugel’s Saga $9.68 In Cugela (TM)s Saga, published 17 years after Eyes of the Overworld, the novel that first featured the scoundrel, Cugel against tests wits with Iucounu and acquires rudimentary powers. Though Vance puts himself in tradition of popular fantasy writers, one might assume that he had also grown up with Ovid and Herodotus, Homera (TM)s Odyssey, Don Quixote, and Candide. The Cugel tales lack some of the scope and pathos of the great adventure yarns, but, in the twenty-first century, they may be as close as one gets to the celebration of epic human perseverance. a oeCugel the Clever is] a rogue so venal and unscrupulous that that he makes Harry Flashman look like Dudley Doright. How could you not love a guy like that? …. Judging from the number of times that Cugel has come back … you cana (TM)t keep a bad man down.a a "George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire. a oeCugel the Clever is] a liar and thief in a doomed world of liars and thieves…. Probably the least attractive hero it would be possible to find, struggling through a universe like a Hieronymus Bosch painting, a hero only in that nearly everybody else he encounters in that universe is on the make too, and yet the Cugel stories are howlingly funny.a a "Kage Baker, author of Empress of Mars.

What started out as a "police action" is turning into a war. For those who have never served in the military, the account offers insights into the strict regimen of Army basic combat training; and gives a private look into the innermost thoughts of a man who faces the possibility of having to leave everybody and everything he holds dear in America, and venture into the hostile environment of a jungle combat zone.
