Illustrierte Klassiker Sonderband #5

Part of BSV Hannover's Sonderband-Reihe — a special series devoted to myths, legends, and sagas from around the world — this fifth volume brings Norse mythology to vivid life with a cover by Ertugrul Edirne that crackles with drama. The painting shows a dark-haired woman in anguish, a white horse rearing behind her, while golden flames engulf a fallen, pale-haired figure lying at the fore — a scene that unmistakably evokes the fiery fate promised by the title, Das Ende der Walküre ("The End of the Valkyrie"). Inside, writer Javier Peñalosa Calderón and artist Delia Larios bring the full weight of the Valkyrie legend to the illustrated page in a package that fits beautifully alongside the series' celebration of world mythology.
